Semarang – Semarang businessman Agus Hartono was reported to be the victim of kidnapping by a number of unknown people who are strongly suspected of being investigators at the Central Java High Court (Kejati Jateng). The incident that happened to Agus Hartono occurred at Ahmad Yani Airport, Semarang when he was about to fulfill an investigation summons at the Central Java High Court.
Kamaruddin Simanjuntak, who is Agus Hartono’s attorney, said the kidnapping case that befell his client happened so quickly.
“I left Jakarta at 05.00 WIB, to fulfill their call at 09.00 WIB, but was kidnapped on a Garuda plane at 08.30 WIB when landing at Semarang Airport,” said Kamaruddin reporting from the other end of the phone, Thursday, (22/12).
As told by Kamaruddin, he sat in the same row of seats with Agus Hartono and a staff member named Yudi. “I sat at the very edge of the passenger aisle. Meanwhile, my client, Agus, was at the far corner,” said the lawyer with a thick mustache who opened the case of the planned murder of Brigadier Yosua.
Because he was in the farthest position, as soon as the plane landed at Ahmad Yani Airport, Semarang, Kamaruddin admitted that he immediately moved towards the exit. While Agus Hartono and Yudi, his personal staff are behind him.
Agus’ whereabouts were known to be missing and it was suspected that he had been the victim of a kidnapping after Yudi, Agus Hartono’s staff reported the case to Kamaruddin.
“During the descent position, Pak Agus was right behind me. As soon as I left the plane door, around 10 people were already standing in front of the door and immediately hugged Pak Agus down the stairs,” said Yudi.
Kamaruddin Simanjuntak said he was in Semarang to accompany his client. “The plan is that he (Agus Hartono) will face the summons of Central Java Attorney investigators,” said Kamaruddin.
According to Kamaruddin, his client was summoned as a suspect with a third summons notice. “As far as we know, this is only the first letter we have received, but why is it stated in the notification letter that it is called the third summons?” he said in surprise.
Kamaruddin also continued, before the first letter was received, his client had twice received WhatsApp from investigators. However, because it was considered unusual, Agus Hartono considered it something normal due to mal procedures.
Is there a connection between this kidnapping case and his client’s non-compliance on the first and second summons? Kamaruddin could not be sure. He dared not speculate on anything from the kidnapping incident.
Regarding the case that happened to his client, Kamaruddin admitted that he had reported it to high-ranking officials from the Attorney General’s Office and the Kapolri, including the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit for the Police, Komjen Pol Agus Andrianto. “I have reported the incident,” said Kamaruddin.
Kamaruddin felt that the Central Java Prosecutor’s Office was unfair and seemed to use thugs’ methods in enforcing the law. Until this news was published, Kamaruddin Simanjuntak admitted that he could not meet his client, who is currently at the Central Java High Court.
“I have tried to meet my client but have not been allowed and have been hindered by the Central Java Attorney General’s Office. What kind of model is it for law enforcement to do this?” he insisted.
Kamaruddin admits and heard for himself that his client was tortured. “I heard screams from the Pidsus room. As soon as I pushed the door, Agus Hartono was being tortured,” said Kamaruddin, admitting he was shocked.
Regarding the case that happened to his client, Kamaruddin admitted that his report had received a response from Jamwas Ali Mukartono, and said that he would immediately deploy his team to deal with the case. bembo
