Pretrial is a legal forum provided to test whether the actions in the law enforcement process have been carried out in accordance with applicable provisions and procedures. Therefore, we invite all parties to respect the trial process and give space for the judge to examine and assess this case objectively.

Adriansyah's legal team plans to use the pretrial hearing to scrutinize the legality of several actions taken during the investigation into his client. "Pretrial is a legal forum provided to test whether the actions in the law enforcement process have been carried out in accordance with applicable provisions and procedures. Therefore, we invite all parties to respect the trial process and give space for the judge to examine and assess this case objectively," stated Febri Diansyah, a member of Adriansyah's legal counsel.

The primary focus of the legal challenge will be the procedure surrounding Adriansyah's designation as a suspect and the subsequent search actions, which the defense claims were conducted without proper examination of the suspect. "What we are testing in this pretrial is the procedure. Whether the designation of suspect, the search, and other coercive measures have been carried out in accordance with applicable regulations or not. That is what we will submit for examination and assessment by the judge," Febri explained.

Adriansyah's lawyers assert that filing for pretrial is an act of respecting the legal process, arguing that all debates regarding procedural law should be tested through this specific legal forum. They aim to clarify that pretrial is not intended to obscure legal proceedings but is a right granted by law to everyone, regardless of their background or position. The team will also question the construction of the predicate criminal offense in the money laundering case, which was combined into a single investigation order, referencing Article 74 of the Money Laundering Law and Constitutional Court decisions.
