Criminal law expert Abdul Fickar Hadjar assessed that efforts to prevent the defendant in the murder of Dini Sera Afrianti, Gregorius Ronald Tannur, from traveling abroad were appropriate.
The ban plan is currently being coordinated by the East Java High Prosecutor’s Office and the East Java Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
“The prevention effort is necessary because the case is in the cassation process,” said Abdul when contacted in Jakarta today.
In the cassation process, he said the implementation of Ronald’s acquittal decision would be examined to see whether it was appropriate or not, so that the ban was needed to expedite the cassation process.
Although the facts will not be re-examined, he explained that an appeal could be submitted to the Supreme Court (MA) because in an acquittal decision, dissatisfied parties can no longer file an appeal or re-examine the facts.
Thus, he said, Ronald’s acquittal decision at the Surabaya District Court, East Java, does not mean that it cannot be tested because there are still two more levels, namely cassation and judicial review (PK).

“Even if the acquittal decision has binding legal force, if novum (new circumstances or evidence) is found, a PK can be submitted,” he said.
Previously, the Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna Laoly when met in Jakarta, Thursday (1/8), said he would welcome any request to ban Ronald from the Prosecutor’s Office or other law enforcement officers (APH).
“Basically, if the law enforcer has requested a ban, just submit it directly to the Directorate General of Immigration. That’s it,” said Yasonna.

Not only Immigration Officers, the Minister of Law and Human Rights emphasized that all law enforcement officers, even tax officers, can actually prevent someone from entering if necessary.
Previously on Thursday (25/7), the Surabaya District Attorney’s Office (Kejari) filed an appeal regarding the not guilty verdict by the Panel of Judges at the Surabaya District Court which acquitted Gregorius Ronald Tannur (32), the defendant in the murder case.
When met in Surabaya, the Head of the Intelligence Section (Kasi) of the Surabaya District Attorney’s Office, Putu Arya Wibisana, revealed that evidence such as the visum et repertum (VER) letter had confirmed that there was a wound to the victim’s liver caused by a blunt object.

Representing the Public Prosecutor Team from the Surabaya District Attorney’s Office, Putu emphasized that the VER results also proved that there were car tire marks that crushed the body of the victim, Dini Sera Afrianti.
“That is evidence that there are facts that should also be considered by the Panel of Judges,” he said.
However, in the acquittal verdict, the Panel of Judges at the Surabaya District Court chaired by Erintuah Damanik assessed that the cause of the victim’s death was due to consuming a lot of alcoholic drinks, not due to serious abuse as in the prosecutor’s charges. (Ant/P-2)
