Togar Reports Former Client over Alleged False Testimony
The legal team of Togar Situmorang has reported his former client, Fanny Lauren Christie, to the Bali Regional Police’s Directorate of General Criminal Investigation over allegations of providing false testimony under oath during the trial of the case against Togar.
One of Togar’s lawyers, Rinto Maha, said the report relates to Fanny’s testimony during the criminal proceedings against Togar at the Denpasar District Court.
“We have filed a criminal complaint. The reported party is Fanny Lauren, for false testimony under oath during the trial,” Rinto said on Tuesday (18/6/2026).
According to Rinto, the report was made after his team obtained the court ruling, which was then used as one of the bases for reporting the alleged offence.
“After we obtained the district court ruling, this is the evidence we brought. Because it was under oath, what the person said is written there. So it is concrete,” he said.
Rinto said the report has been received by the police. His team also stated that it has a number of pieces of evidence and witnesses to support the report. “There is evidence, and there are witnesses,” he said.
However, the report remains an allegation that must be proven through the investigation process. No court ruling has yet declared Fanny Lauren proven to have given false testimony.
Fanny Lauren herself is a former client of Togar in a case that ultimately led to criminal proceedings against the advocate.
In that case, the Denpasar District Court on 28 April 2026 sentenced Togar to two years and six months in prison. He was found guilty of committing fraud.
The ruling was later upheld at the appeal stage. The Denpasar High Court increased Togar’s sentence to three years in prison. Togar then filed an appeal to the Supreme Court.
The criminal case originated from a report by Fanny Lauren, who claimed to have suffered losses of around Rp 1.81 billion. During the trial, prosecutors said Togar had requested money from Fanny on the grounds, among others, of helping to make his opponent a suspect.
Togar’s team disputes the construction of the case and believes there are a number of facts that need to be re-examined.
In addition to the report against Fanny, Rinto said Togar’s legal team is also considering other legal steps regarding alleged manipulation or misleading conduct in the handling of Togar’s criminal case.
“Regarding Mr Togar being named a suspect and defendant, we will file a new report concerning the manipulation of the trial,” Rinto said.
Rinto said the parties to be reported include certain investigators and prosecutors. However, the planned report is still being prepared by Togar’s legal team. Meanwhile, Togar’s appeal in the criminal case is still ongoing at the Supreme Court.
