Febrie's lawyer, Febri Diansyah, explained that the legal action is an effort to scrutinize the investigation process from a procedural and administrative standpoint. "This is a guaranteed right so that we can all see more clearly during the trial, testing all aspects of compliance or non-compliance with procedural law," he stated.

Please, it is the right of the suspect and legal counsel if they want to file a pretrial motion, and it is regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code.

The motion raises six issues for review, including the designation of Febrie as a suspect twice by both the National Police's Special Criminal Investigation Directorate and the Attorney General's Office. The legal team is also challenging the arrest and detention efforts by the Attorney General's Office, as well as the designation of suspect status, searches, and seizures conducted by the Jakarta Metropolitan Police and/or the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate.

All of that will be proven in court later.
