        "summary": "Roy Suryo's legal representative, Ghafur Sangadji, has criticised the prolonged delay in transferring the case file regarding allegations of President Joko Widodo's falsified diploma to the prosecutor's office, arguing that it exceeds the 14-day legal limit and should be dismissed on administrative grounds. The file, initially returned incomplete on 13 January 2026 and re-submitted on 17 April 2026, remains under review by the Jakarta Prosecutor's Office without a clear timeline, amid suspicions of prosecutorial hesitation to proceed to trial. This development highlights ongoing procedural tensions in the high-profile case involving Roy Suryo and others, with Ghafur emphasising the need for fair and procedural adherence rather than halting the investigation.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta - Roy Suryo\u2019s lawyer, Ghafur Sangadji, has questioned the\nlengthy process of transferring the case file for the allegations of a\nfalsified diploma against Indonesia\u2019s seventh president, Joko Widodo,\nwhich implicates Roy Suryo and other parties.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ghafur, the prosecutor\u2019s office has exceeded the 14-day\nlimit for taking action after receiving the transferred case file.<\/p>\n<p>The re-transfer of the file was previously announced by the Director\nof General Criminal Investigation at Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Pol Iman\nImanudin, during a press conference on 17 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Ghafur referred to the initial file transfer on 13 January 2026. At\nthat time, the case file was returned to the police seven days later\nbecause it was deemed incomplete.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he believes the case should have been dismissed on legal\nadministrative grounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the rigid procedural law adopted by our criminal justice\nsystem, this case file should have been declared dismissed on legal\nadministrative grounds,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Ghafur emphasised that his side has not requested the\ntermination of the investigation through restorative justice mechanisms,\nas done by the other three suspects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have never requested an SP3 [termination letter] on any grounds,\nno. What we are asking for is fair law enforcement, law enforcement in\naccordance with procedures,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ghafur, his side suspects that the prosecutors are still\nhesitant to declare the case file complete or issue a P21 [indictment]\nand thus have not transferred it to the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no more witnesses or experts; it\u2019s just waiting for the\nP21,\u201d said Ghafur.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Head of the Legal Information Section at the Jakarta\nProsecutor\u2019s Office, Dapot Dariarma, stated that the case file is still\nbeing further studied by the prosecutor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>However, Dapot did not explain the reasons why the examination of the\nfile is taking quite a long time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(The case file) is still being studied and delved into,\u201d said Dapot\nwhen confirmed by Kompas.com on Thursday.<\/p>",
