The LAW FIRM JAMES RICHARD AND PARTNERS, acting as legal counsel for Ms. “DA,” expresses its appreciation to the Deputy Director and investigators of Unit 2, Sub-Directorate 1, of the Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Bali Provincial Police for decisively upgrading our client’s case from the preliminary investigation stage to the formal investigation stage regarding the alleged criminal acts of fraud under Article 492 and Article 486 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) and Law No. 1 of 2023. We deeply appreciate the decisive action taken by the investigators, as it brings a breath of fresh air and a glimmer of hope to our client, the victim, regarding the losses she suffered due to an irresponsible contractor who caused significant financial harm to our client. As the victim’s legal counsel, is that this matter does not end at the investigation stage alone but must proceed to the designation of a SUSPECT and ultimately to the defendant’s trial at the Denpasar District Court. Regardless of all that, on behalf of our client and as legal counsel, we remain open to mediation should there be a request or invitation from the accused to resolve the ongoing legal matter currently being handled by Unit 2, Sub-Directorate 1, Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Bali Provincial Police through the Restorative Justice (RJ) process. Stated firmly by Attorney RIKHARDUS IKUN, S.H., M.H., C.MSP., C.NSP., C.LFS., C.CPr.
