Ammar Zoni's Side Rejects Verbalisan Witness, Jon Mathias: As If There Is An Oddity In This Case

The trial of Ammar Zoni at the Central Jakarta District Court was marked by a rejection from the legal counsel against the witness presented by the Public Prosecutor (JPU). The witness presented is a verbalisan witness or investigator from Salemba Prison.

Jon Mathias, Ammar's legal counsel, expressed his objection because the name of the witness was not listed in the initial Minutes of Examination (BAP). He considers the presence of a new witness in the midst of this evidentiary process to be an unusual thing in legal procedure.

"Yes, first we have already rejected this witness, because it is not in the BAP (Minutes of Examination). The documents are not there. Right?" said Jon Mathias at the Central Jakarta District Court, Thursday (19/2/2026).

Jon suspects there are concerns from the prosecution side which led to the sudden emergence of new witnesses. He sees that the evidence presented so far is insufficient to support the charges against his client.

"Now we argue that it seems there is an oddity in this case, right?" emphasized Jon Mathias.

In addition to the witness issue, Jon also highlighted the newly presented documents and recordings. According to him, if such evidence indeed exists, it should have been attached from the beginning in the case files for transparency.

"Shouldn't the Prosecutor, as the Research Prosecutor, have been made a witness from the beginning? Why should it be in P-19? Now it's only being presented," said Jon Mathias.

He also concluded that there are indications of coercion in this case to ensure it continues in court. Jon remains firm in his stance to reject the testimony that he deems legally irrelevant.

"Well, this shows that from the beginning, this case indeed has indications of being forced to enter the trial," concluded Jon Mathias.
