Prosecutor’s questions

The Attorney General’s Office also mentioned Jessica’s plans to file a PK. The AGO said Jessica had filed a PK in 2018.

“If I’m not wrong, in 2018 that person had applied for a PK and it was rejected,” said Harli Siregar as head of the Attorney General’s Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) in his office, Tuesday (20/8).

Harli then referred to Article 263 Paragraph (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code which states that PK can only be done once. However, according to Harli, there is also the Constitutional Court (MK) Decision No. 34 of 2013 regarding the Review of Law No. 8 of 1981 regarding the Code of Criminal Procedure which states that PK can be done more than once once but there are conditions related to science. .

“Of course, regarding this legal basis, it is still to be discussed because if we refer to Law No. 48 of 2009 regarding Judicial Power, Article 24, it is reaffirmed that PK can only be done once. But in a legal development in the Constitutional Court Decision Number 34 of 2013, the possibility is opened.

“However, if we look again at SEMA Number 7 of 2014, it is reiterated that PK can only be done once. So what we have to pay attention to is that this PK is submitted to the High Court and then the judge will do it. respond to this legal formality. he added.
