First Hearing: Legal Counsel for DPR Secretary General Does Not Read Out Petition
The South Jakarta District Court (PN) held the first hearing for the pretrial motion submitted by Indra Iskandar, Secretary General of the DPR, as a suspect in the alleged corruption case, on Monday (6/4).
However, the reading of the petition was deemed to have been read, so journalists were unaware of the contents of the requested petitum.
The hearing was presided over by a single judge, Sulistiyanto Rokhmad Budiarto.
Indra, as the petitioner, was represented by his legal team, while the KPK, as the respondent, was represented by the Legal Bureau team.
At the start of the hearing, the judge inquired whether there were any changes to the petition. The judge also asked about the readiness of the KPK’s Legal Bureau to provide a response to Indra’s petition.
Indra’s legal counsel stated that there were no changes to the petition. Meanwhile, the KPK’s Legal Bureau was not yet ready to submit a response.
“No changes? Shall it be read out or deemed read?” the judge asked Indra’s legal counsel.
“Deemed read,” replied one of Indra’s legal counsels.
The judge then set the agenda for the next hearing day. The judge gave the KPK side the opportunity to submit a response on Tuesday.
This is the third petition submitted by Indra after withdrawing the previous two.
Meanwhile, on Thursday (5/3), the South Jakarta PN Public Relations Officer Rio Barten stated that in his petition, Indra requested that the Court declare the suspect designation by the KPK as invalid and without binding legal force.
Indra also requested that the judge annul the KPK’s action preventing him from travelling abroad.
“Regarding the travel ban and passport revocation, it should be restored to its original state,” said Rio Barten on Thursday (5/3).
“Declaring the search and seizure actions as invalid, and requesting the restoration of the petitioner’s good name, honour, and dignity to their original state,” he continued.
According to the South Jakarta PN Case Search Information System (SIPP) website, Indra filed the pretrial motion on Friday, 27 February 2026. He seeks to test the KPK’s procedure in designating him as a suspect.
The pretrial petition is registered under case number: 31/Pid.Pra/2026/PN JKT.SEL. The respondent is the KPK c.q. KPK Leadership.
