Jakarta Metropolitan Police have transferred two suspects in the case\nof alleged defamation involving former President Joko Widodo\u2019s academic\ncredentials to the prosecutor\u2019s office. The handover of Roy Suryo and\nTifauziah Tyassuma, known as Doctor Tifa, took place on Monday, 22 June\n2026, following their arrest and detention on Friday, 19 June 2026.<\/p>\n
Director of General Criminal Investigation at Jakarta Metropolitan\nPolice, Senior Commissioner Iman Imanuddin, stated that the arrest and\nentire investigation process were carried out in strict accordance with\nprevailing legal procedures. He emphasised that investigators\nconsistently adhered to the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP).<\/p>\n
\u2018We can confirm that all stages conducted by investigators from the\nGeneral Criminal Investigation Directorate of Jakarta Metropolitan\nPolice have complied with KUHAP procedures,\u2019 he said at police\nheadquarters on Monday.<\/p>\n
Imanuddin also firmly denied any external intervention in the\nhandling of the case. He suggested that if any interference occurred, it\nwas more likely to be attempts by certain parties to obstruct or disrupt\nthe investigation process. \u2018If there was intervention, it would be more\naccurately described as attempts to hinder, disturb, or obstruct the\ninvestigation process,\u2019 he stated.<\/p>\n
He assured that the police remained independent and continued the\ninvestigation based solely on the provisions outlined in the KUHAP.\n\u2018Regarding any efforts, or as you may have seen or heard, including from\na former official who still acts as if they hold office, we remain\nguided by the KUHAP which regulates the investigation process,\u2019 he\nadded.<\/p>\n
Imanuddin called on all parties to respect the ongoing legal process\nand urged against building provocative narratives on social media. He\nnoted that all procedures have clear boundaries, and if any party feels\nthere are irregularities, they can utilise available legal mechanisms\nsuch as a pre-trial motion. Furthermore, if there are suspicions or\nallegations regarding the conduct of investigators, an internal\nsupervisory body exists which can be used by all parties to monitor and\ncontrol the investigation process.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-police-deny-external-interference-in-roy-suryo-and-doctor-tifa-case-1782111190", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
