After Visiting Bareskrim, JK to File Hoax Complaint Against Rismon and YouTube Accounts

After visiting Bareskrim, JK will file a hoax complaint against Rismon and YouTube accounts. Indonesia’s 10th and 12th Vice President Jusuf Kalla (JK) is set to file a public complaint regarding alleged hoax dissemination purportedly carried out by Rismon Hasiholan Sianipar and several YouTube accounts. JK’s lawyer, Abdul Haji Talaohu, stated that the complaint will be lodged after consulting with Bareskrim Polri on Monday (6/4). Abdul Haji mentioned that, based on the consultation with the Directorate of General and Cyber Crimes at Bareskrim Polri, additional evidence is still required for the case. “We will proceed with the complaint because there are several data points we need to complete, and we will submit it as soon as possible,” he told reporters at Bareskrim Polri. He emphasised that the complaint against Rismon and four YouTube accounts—Ruang Konsensus, Musik Ciamis, Mosato TV, and YouTuber Nusantara—will continue to be processed, as they are deemed to have tarnished JK’s dignity. “Whereas he is a national figure, a statesman, former Vice President for two terms, involved in government for 20 years, with good intentions and no political intrigue aimed at seizing power,” he said. Meanwhile, Rismon denies having referred to Indonesia’s 10th and 12th Vice President Jusuf Kalla as the funder of the alleged forged diploma case involving Indonesia’s 7th President Joko Widodo. Rismon’s lawyer, Jahmada Girsang, affirmed that his client never made such a statement. He claimed that the video clips circulating on social media are the result of Artificial Intelligence (AI) manipulation. “It’s all AI processing, Rismon never mentioned Mr JK’s name,” he told reporters on Sunday (5/4).
