Vanessa Angel Has No Objection to the Prosecutor's Charges

Kapanlagi.com - Vanessa Angel attended her first trial with the agenda of listening to the reading of the indictment by the Prosecutor on Monday, August 31, 2020, at the West Jakarta District Court.

Vanessa, who sat in the defendant's chair, appeared serious while listening to the Prosecutor detailing the chronology of her arrest by the West Jakarta metropolitan police on March 16, 2020. As is known, she is suspected of drug abuse, namely unauthorized possession of 20 xanax psychotropic pills.

1. Vanessa Angel Doesn't Mind

Due to Vanessa's actions, the Public Prosecutor's Office charged the Layla Majnun soap opera actress under Article 62 of the Indonesian Law No. 5 of 1997 concerning Psychotropics, as well as the Minister of Health Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 49 of 2018 concerning Changes in the Classification of Psychotropics in the Appendix of Law No. 5 of 1997 concerning Psychotropics.

After the indictment was read, Vanessa, represented by her legal counsel, stated that she does not object. "Because there is nothing to reject and let the trial proceed quickly," said Vanessa Angel outside the courtroom when asked about the reason for not filing an exception.

2. Trial to Continue Next Week

"Formally, the indictment is correct, that's why we didn't file an exception, but substantively, it's not necessarily correct," said Vanessa's lawyer, Kemal Maruszama, adding.

The trial of Vanessa's case will continue next week, on September 7, 2020, with the agenda of examining witnesses from the Public Prosecutor's Office and the defendant's party.
