Jakarta \u2013 The owner of the Bibi Kelinci restaurant in Kemang, Mampang\nPrapatan, South Jakarta, Nabilah O\u2019Brien, explained the chronology of a\nfood theft that eventually led to her being named as a suspect. \u2018The\ncase occurred on 19 September 2025 at 22:51 Western Indonesian Time. At\nthat time, a married couple identified by the initials Z and E entered\nthe restaurant and ordered 14 food and beverage products,\u2019 said\nNabilah\u2019s legal counsel, Goldie Natasya Swarovski, at a press conference\nat the Bibi Kelinci Restaurant in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n
Goldie explained that the matter began when the couple placed an\norder at the restaurant. They then entered the kitchen, which is a\ncustomers-only restricted area, because they felt their order had not\nyet been delivered. \u2018Not long after, the two individuals engaged in\nintimidation by forcing entry into the kitchen, which is a restricted\narea for customers. Restricted means prohibited, right. And it sparked a\ncommotion,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Z and E also subjected staff to other verbal abuses.\n\u2018At 00:00 WIB they left the premises without paying a single rupiah. Our\nstaff, Rahmat, brought the Electronic Data Capture (EDC) machine to\nchase them for payment, but they ignored it,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, Nabilah uploaded CCTV footage of the incident involving\nZ and E on 20 September to her personal social media account. Goldie\nsaid the post received a positive reaction from many people.<\/p>\n
Following the post, Nabilah issued a cease-and-desist letter on 24\nSeptember demanding an open apology. She wanted Z and E to apologise to\nthe staff and acknowledge all of their actions.<\/p>\n
Then, on 25 September, Nabilah filed a report with the Mampang\nPrapatan Police Station for the theft. Two days later, on 27 September,\nNabilah was counter-sued by Z and E. Goldie said Z and E demanded\ncompensation of Rp1 billion for losses they claimed to have suffered\nfrom Nabilah\u2019s CCTV posting. \u2018There is something funny here, because\nthey counter-sued our client with a Rp1 billion claim for the losses\nthey felt from Ms Nabilah\u2019s posting,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, on 30 September, Z and E reported Nabilah to the Police\nfor alleged violations of the Electronic Information and Transactions\nLaw (UU ITE), defamation and slander. Then, on 30 September and 17\nNovember, mediation was attempted by the Mampang Police and Bareskrim\nfor both parties. Goldie stated that Z and E demanded Rp1 billion as a\ncondition of settlement.<\/p>\n
On 18 November, Nabilah sent a draft settlement agreement without\nmaterial conditions, withdrawing the reports from both Polsek and\nBareskrim simultaneously. \u2018In addition to Rp1 billion, our client was\nasked to apologise to the entire public, to the family, and even to\nadmit that our client had slandered Z and Mrs E, had committed\ndefamation and instructed our client to do things that we already know\nthe truth of through the CCTV,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
Without a settlement, the investigation continued, and on 24\nFebruary, Z and E were named suspects based on the police\u2019s scheduled\nfact-finding (gelar perkara) at Mampang Prapatan. Nevertheless, just a\nfew days later, Nabilah was named a suspect on 28 February 2026. Goldie\ndescribed this as odd because the suspect designation was very rapid,\ngiven that the fact-finding had only occurred two days earlier. \u2018It\nturns out the gelar perkara occurred on 26 February and my client was\nsent the suspect designation letter on Saturday, 28 February 2026. This\nis odd because the process for naming a suspect isn\u2019t that\nstraightforward,\u2019 she said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/this-is-the-chronology-of-the-theft-at-bibi-kelinci-up-to-the-owner-being-named-a-suspect-1772805693", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
