        "summary": "A South Jakarta District Court judge has ruled that the search, arrest, and detention of Roy Suryo by Polda Metro Jaya investigators were unlawful. The judge found discrepancies between the grounds for the search warrant and its execution, and noted Suryo's cooperative behaviour during the investigation. However, the court rejected the request to invalidate the entire investigation dossier.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta - South Jakarta District Court Sole Judge I Ketut Darpawan\nhas revealed the considerations underpinning the decision to partially\ngrant Roy Suryo\u2019s pretrial motion. \u201cOne, regarding the search and arrest\nactions carried out by the respondent against the applicant,\u201d said Judge\nI Ketut Darpawan on Tuesday, 7 July 2026. The judge stated that the core\nissue considered was the legality of the search, arrest, and detention\nof Roy Suryo. The judge assessed that although Polda Metro Jaya had\nobtained a search warrant from the Tangerang District Court, there was a\ndiscrepancy between the reasons submitted in the warrant application and\nits execution in the field. \u201cThe Head of the Tangerang District Court\ngranted the respondent permission to conduct a search because the house\nor closed premises, as mentioned in the letter, was suspected by the\nrespondent to be a hiding place for evidence. However, in its execution,\nthe search was conducted to arrest the applicant,\u201d he said. The judge\nalso noted that Roy Suryo was cooperative during the investigation and\nthere were no circumstances indicating any hindrance for investigators\nto transfer the case file to the public prosecutor. \u201cThe use of search\nand arrest measures by the respondent without being able to prove\naccountable reasons, according to the judge, constitutes an arbitrary\nact,\u201d he stated. Regarding the detention, the judge mentioned that Roy\nSuryo had been complying with mandatory reporting since being named a\nsuspect on 7 November 2025 until 18 June 2026 without ever being\ndetained. Therefore, the judge considered that the subjective\nrequirements for detention were not met. However, the judge rejected Roy\nSuryo\u2019s request to have the entire investigation dossier declared\ninvalid. The judge emphasised that the illegality of the search, arrest,\nand detention does not automatically render the investigation dossier\ninvalid. The request for the court to prohibit the public prosecutor\nfrom issuing a detention order was also rejected as it is not within the\nauthority of a pretrial hearing. It was previously reported that Roy\nSuryo achieved a partial victory in the pretrial hearing held at the\nSouth Jakarta District Court on Tuesday, 7 July 2026. Sole Judge I Ketut\nDarpawan declared a number of coercive measures taken by Polda Metro\nJaya investigators against Roy Suryo, from the search and arrest to the\ndetention, to be unlawful. The ruling was read out in the pretrial\nhearing examining the validity of the investigators\u2019 actions in the case\nensnaring Roy Suryo.<\/p>",
