Frank Alexander Hutapea publicly criticized his father, Hotman Paris Hutapea, on social media. The criticism followed Hotman's decision to represent former JAMPIDSUS Febrie Adriansyah.
The controversy began when Hotman Paris announced he had joined as legal counsel for Febrie Adriansyah during a press conference at the Attorney General's Office. Hotman stated he did not expect payment because the client could not afford high fees.
Frank replied to a netizen's post by calling his father's statement excessive image-building. He also mentioned the Hotman 911 program, which he said was only used as a marketing tool.
Frank revealed he had not communicated with Hotman for about one year and had opened his own law office. Hotman responded by sharing videos of thanks from clients assisted through the program.
