Hercules Reported by Ahmad Bahar's Daughter Over Alleged Detention; GRIB Challenges Proof
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Chairman of the GRIB Jaya Central Executive Board, Rosario de Marshall alias Hercules, has been reported to the Metro Jaya Regional Police by Ilma Sani Fitriana, the daughter of writer Ahmad Bahar, on Friday, 22 May 2026.
Ilma reported Hercules for alleged detention she experienced at the GRIB Jaya headquarters in Kedoya, West Jakarta, on Sunday, 17 May 2026.
Meanwhile, the Head of Public Relations and Publications of the GRIB Jaya DPP, Marcel Gual, has challenged Bahar and Ilma to prove their accusations.
When Ilma arrived at Metro Jaya Police, she filed two reports simultaneously. The first report concerned alleged detention at the GRIB Jaya Headquarters.
That report is registered under LP/B/3678/2026/SPKT/POLDA METRO JAYA dated 22 May 2026.
In the report, Hercules is named under Article 446 of the Penal Code on Deprivation of Liberty of a Person together with Article 451 on Hostage-taking.
“We know there was a siege on a house, then kidnapping, detention, then verbal threats, verbal violence, then the use of firearms, and belittling our client, which is allegedly carried out by a group identifying themselves as the GRIB organisation, and also allegedly by the chairman himself, in this case Hercules,” said Ilma’s attorney Gufroni at the Metro Jaya Police.
According to Ilma’s account, Hercules and his followers forced her to admit to acts she did not commit, namely sending threats to Hercules.
In fact, Ilma had no contact with Hercules on her phone before the incident.
“There at the GRIB Jaya Headquarters, Ilma was interrogated, forced to admit that Ms ISF had sent messages to Hercules and his wife containing threats via WhatsApp,” he continued.
This situation is alleged to mark the onset of the problem, because messages threatening Hercules appeared from that account.
“This report relates to the hacking of the mobile phone belonging to Ms ISF, which became the root of the problem, causing Hercules to become very angry, making it seem that the WhatsApp messages were from our client, but that is not the case,” Gufroni explained.
In the report concerning the alleged hacking, the accused is charged under Article 48 of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) in conjunction with Article 32 and/or Article 51 in conjunction with Article 35 UU ITE on data manipulation, as well as Article 332 of the Penal Code on tampering with another person’s electronic devices.
