The Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) has confirmed that the legal process against three other suspects in the case of alleged fake diplomas belonging to Indonesia’s 7th President, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), is still ongoing. Investigators are continuing legal proceedings against the three suspects who are part of the first cluster. The three are Kurnia Tri Rohyani, Rustam Effendi, and Muhammad Rizal Fadillah. “The case is still being processed,” said Polda Metro Jaya Head of Public Relations, Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto, to reporters on Monday (22/6). However, Budi did not disclose further details regarding the legal process for the three individuals. “We will provide an update from the investigators later,” he stated. Previously, Polda Metro Jaya had named eight suspects in the case of the alleged fake diploma of Jokowi. These eight suspects are divided into two clusters.
