Doctor Tifa Withdraws Pre-Trial Detention Challenge
Tifauziah Tyassuma, alias Doctor Tifa, has decided to withdraw her pre-trial motion to test the legality of her detention at the South Jakarta District Court. Tifa stated the pre-trial application was withdrawn after the South Jakarta Prosecutor’s Office granted her a suspension of detention. “Regarding the pre-trial matter, we had submitted a letter of application for pre-trial. However, considering the development of the situation where it was decided on 21 June 2026 that I would not be detained during the trial process, we decided to cancel the pre-trial application letter,” Tifa said during a press conference on Wednesday (24/6).
On that occasion, Tifa also revealed that her case file and Roy’s had been separated and not combined. On that basis, Tifa said she now has her own legal team, different from Roy’s. However, Tifa confirmed she continues to synergise with Roy in facing the case. “So we are split, because it is known that our cases are split. Mr Roy Suryo is number 300, I am number 301. This means we must have our own team and our own strategy, but we continue to synergise,” she said.
Furthermore, Tifa stated that she and her legal team are ready to face the trial process at the East Jakarta District Court. “God willing, with bismillah, I, Doctor Tifa, together with the advocate team defending Doctor Tifa, will be ready to face the court which will later be determined and not in South Jakarta but in East Jakarta,” she said.
The Metro Jaya Regional Police had transferred Roy and Tifa along with evidence in the case regarding allegations concerning Jokowi’s diploma to the South Jakarta Prosecutor’s Office on Monday (22/6). After the stage two transfer process, the South Jakarta Prosecutor’s Office decided not to detain Roy and Tifa. Both were only required to report once a week.
South Jakarta Chief Prosecutor Marcelo Bellah revealed that the trial against Roy and Tifa in this case would be held at the East Jakarta District Court. However, he did not disclose the reason why the trial would be held at the East Jakarta District Court. Marcelo only conveyed that the trial process would be held as soon as possible, as the case falls under the qualification of an important case.
Most recently, the South Jakarta Prosecutor’s Office also transferred the case files of Roy and Tifa to the East Jakarta District Court on Tuesday (23/6) at around 14.45 WIB. This transfer was based on the decision of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number: 114/KMA/SK.HK2.2/VI/2026 dated 22 June 2026 concerning the appointment of the East Jakarta District Court to examine and decide the criminal case on behalf of the defendants Roy and Tifa. “Furthermore, the Public Prosecutor is awaiting the trial schedule to be set by the Panel of Judges at the East Jakarta District Court,” said Yogi Sudharsono, Head of the Intelligence Section of the East Jakarta Prosecutor’s Office.
