Wiradama Harefa revealed that the informant in this case, based on information from the defendants, is a suspected Affiliate in one of the Robot Trading platforms that has been proven to be a fraudulent investment. Several parties involved in the Robot Trading platform have been named as suspects and have undergone punishment.

Not only that, Wiradama mentioned that SP, the wife of AP, who filed the report, is playing the victim and accusing Clerence Victoria without strong evidence.

"And we see that the informant is portraying themselves as the victim, when in fact our client is the victim of the actions committed by the informant. Therefore, we await the examination results in this public trial. Let's not act as if the informant is the judge, because there is a judge who will examine, adjudicate, and decide on this case. Let's wait," he said.

"We explain that our client (Clerence Victori/defendant 2) was reported with a report of assault. But the fact is that both parties were involved in a fight and hit each other. Furthermore, the informant admitted in their statement that they were hit two or three times by the first defendant, but this is not visible in the CCTV footage," he added.

"Moreover, if we examine the CCTV footage presented as evidence, the victim SP is seen committing more acts of violence towards our client. We counted at least five times they threw and hit any objects on the table blindly towards our client, Clerence Victori, causing injuries to their head and fingers. We will prove this in court," he stated.
