Borobudur Stupa Meme Case Similar To Jokowi Rises Investigation, Metro Police Examine Roy Suryo Next Week

JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has scheduled an examination of Roy Suryo as the reported person in the Borobudur Temple stupa meme case that looks like Joko Widodo (Jokowi). It is planned that the former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) will be questioned next week.

"It is planned that early next week there will be a summons for Roy Suryo's brother," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Thursday, June 30.

The schedule for the examination next week is because investigators are currently focusing on asking witnesses for statements. The aim is to strengthen the alleged criminal offense in the case.

"Currently investigators from the Cyber Sub-Directorate are conducting additional examinations of several other expert witnesses," said Zulpan.

While the progress of handling this case, investigators have confiscated the Twitter account @KRMTroysuryo2 which belongs to Roy Suryo. The confiscation was carried out because the account was used by Roy Suryo when uploading the meme that was the subject of the problem.

"It was confiscated, which he used for the upload. What was the name of the account yesterday that I mentioned @KRMTroysuryo9," said Zulpan.

Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the Borobudur Temple stupa meme, three police reports emerged. Two of them made Roy Suryo the reported person.

The two reports include, among others, a report with the number LP B/3042/VI/2022/SPKT/ Polda Metro Jaya dated June 20, 2022 with the reporter on behalf of Kurniawan Santoso.

Then, report number LP/B/0293/VI/2022/SPKT/Bareskrim Polri dated June 20, 2022 with the reporter on behalf of Kevin Wu. The handling of this report has been transferred from the Bareskrim Polri to Polda Metro Jaya.

Currently, the status of both reports has been upgraded from an investigation to an investigation. This is because the alleged criminal elements are deemed to have been fulfilled.
