A New Chapter Of Dino Patti Djalal's Land Certificate Theft Case: Formerly Complaining, Now Reported Due To Defamation

JAKARTA - Former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dino Patti Djalal, must face a series of problems. The case of alleged theft of his mother's land certificate has not yet been completed, but now he is being reported for alleged defamation.

Dino was reported to Metro Jaya Regional Police by Fredy Kusnadi. Through his attorney, Ferdy's report has been registered with the number: LP/860/II/YAN 2.5/SPKT/PMJ.

The report is related to Dino Patti Djalal's tweet via his personal Twitter social media, namely @dinopattidjalal, who called Fredy Kusnadi the mastermind behind the syndicate of buying and selling his mother's house certificate.

Dino admitted that he had legally bought a house owned by his parents by paying a down payment of IDR 500 million from a sale agreement for IDR 11 billion using the credit payment method or installments.

Meanwhile, Fredy admitted that he had redeemed the house certificate belonging to Dino's parents in the name of his cousin Yurmisnawita in a savings and loan cooperative. Based on the sale and purchase deed (AJB) through the office of the Land Deed Maker (PPAT) in South Jakarta, Fredy also made an attempt to change the name.

It's just that, it was recently being questioned by Dino. In fact, he even tweeted on social media saying that Ferdy was a land mafia.

"What's wrong and fake? Is this the mafia? Fredy's client met with Mrs. Dino and her niece/cousin several times. There was a receipt for a down payment of IDR 500 million and a total of IDR 950 million," said Ferdy's attorney, Tonin Tachta when confirmed on Sunday, February 14th.

On that basis, Ferdy reported Dino on suspicion of defaming and insulting. In this case, Dino Patti Djalal allegedly violated Article 27 Paragraph 3 Juncto Article 45a Paragraph 3 and or Article 28 Paragraph 2 Juncto Article 45a Paragraph 2 Law Number 19 Year 2016 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE).

On the other hand, if we look at the handling of the case of alleged theft of the house certificate belonging to Dino Patti Djalal's family, the police say that they have handled it. Even the mastermind of the crime has been arrested.

The Head of Subdirectorate of Material Property, Police Grand Commissioner Adjutant Dwiasi Wiyatputera said there were three cases handled regarding this matter. Two of them have been completed and the rest are still being investigated.

Dwiasi detailed the three cases. First, the case with the reporter named Mustofa. In this case, several suspects named Arnold.

"The suspect Arnold and his friends have already been sentenced to court in 2019. Currently, he has been detained in Cipinang Prison," he said.

The second case with the reporter Dino Patti Djalal. The cases that were reported in November 2020 have also been handled. The suspects, in this case, are Mustofa and a colleague.

"The prosecutor has entered the research phase (file)," said Dwiasi.

Finally, the case reported by Yurmisnawita in January. This case has also been handled in the investigation stage.

"We are currently in the process of proving through witness testimony. Subsequently, a case title will be conducted for further processing," he said.

In addition, the Head of Public Relations of Metro Jaya Regional Police, Grand Commissioner Yusri Yunus, said that the mode used in these three cases was almost the same, namely, forging identity cards.

"The modes are almost all similar. Take the certificate, then the ID Card is faked, then equalized," said Yusri.

Yusri said, there were three cases that had been handled. But the process is different. For the first and second cases, a suspect has been determined.

"The first thing that happens is still in the process. We already know the suspect, we are pursuing it," continued Yusri.

"The second has not happened, but the forgery is already there, so this ownership has not changed. But this is still in progress but the suspect has been arrested for ID Card forgery, but because it is still in process and the time is up, it is finally suspended," he continued.

Meanwhile, the third case is still in the early stages. This is because the reporting is in January 2021. "The third one is also the same because DP's mother owns several land assets that the family does not know about," he said.
