Police Officially Issue SP3 for Rismon Sianipar in Jokowi's Diploma Case

Police have revealed developments regarding Rismon Hasiholan Sianipar’s restorative justice (RJ) application in the case accusing Indonesia’s 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) of a fake diploma. Police stated that the RJ application was accepted and the investigation has been stopped.

“The investigators have issued a letter ordering the termination of the investigation (SP3) against RHS (Rismon Sianipar) on 14 April 2026,” said Dirkrimum of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Iman Imanuddin, to reporters on Friday (17/4/2026).

Iman explained that the case termination process was carried out after Jokowi accepted Rismon’s apology. Rismon is known to have met Jokowi directly at his residence in Surakarta (Solo).

Following that, police facilitated a meeting between Rismon and Jokowi’s representatives at the Ditreskrimum building of Polda Metro Jaya. Jokowi’s side accepted the apology from Rismon.

Police then conducted a special case review to determine Rismon’s legal status. Iman emphasised that the termination of the case against suspect Rismon does not affect the investigation process against other suspects.

“Furthermore, the termination of the investigation against Mr RHS does not nullify the investigation process against other suspects up to the court trial,” he said.

For information, in this case, Polda Metro Jaya has named a total of eight people as suspects, one of whom is former Menpora Roy Suryo. In its developments, Eggi Sudjana, Damai Hari Lubis, and Rismon Sianipar submitted RJ applications to the police.

Police then followed up on those applications, ultimately terminating their cases. Thus, five suspects remain in the case.

In the first cluster, there are suspects Kurnia Tri Royani, Rizal Fadilah, and Rustam Effendi. Meanwhile, in the second cluster, there are suspects Roy Suryo and Tifauziah Tiasuma or dr Tifa.
