THE Attorney General’s Office (AGO) said that the Surabaya District Attorney’s Office (Kejari) has submitted a cassation memorandum regarding the acquittal of Gregorius Ronald Tannur to the Surabaya District Court (PN).
“On Friday (16/8), the public prosecutor (JPU) at the Surabaya District Attorney’s Office sent a cassation memorandum to the Surabaya District Court to be forwarded to the Supreme Court (MA),” said the Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General’s Office, Harli Siregar, as quoted by Antara. BetweenTuesday (20/8).
He said that the submission of the cassation memorandum was an obligation of the Public Prosecutor in order to comply with procedural law.
“Because the prosecutor has declared an appeal, then by submitting this cassation memorandum, it will be one step to be submitted to the court, which if the case files are complete, will be forwarded to the Supreme Court for examination,” he said.
It is known that the cassation was filed in response to the decision of the Surabaya District Court Judge, East Java, who acquitted the defendant Gregorius Ronald Tannur, son of inactive DPR member Edward Tannur, of charges related to the murder of victim Dini Sera Afriyanti, 29.
The Public Prosecutor Team has previously charged Ronald Tannur, who is the son of a former member of the Indonesian House of Representatives, with Article 338, 351 paragraphs 1 and 3, and 359 of the Criminal Code (KUHP), namely committing serious assault at a night entertainment venue against the victim who was 29 years old at the time.

One of the pieces of evidence from CCTV footage in the parking lot of the entertainment venue located in South Surabaya, the defendant Ronald Tannur was seen abandoning his girlfriend, although she was later rushed to the hospital before finally dying.
Based on these charges, the prosecutor demanded that the defendant Ronald Tannur be sentenced to 12 years in prison.
However, the Panel of Judges of the Surabaya District Court chaired by Erintuah Damanik in its ruling on July 24 assessed that the cause of the victim’s death was due to consuming a lot of alcoholic beverages, not due to severe abuse as stated in the prosecutor’s indictment, so the defendant Ronald Tannur was acquitted.
