Jokowi Responds To The Call Of The Criminal Investigation Unit Regarding The Clarification Of The Diplomas

The 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), on Tuesday morning, May 20, visited the Bareskrim Polri Building to fulfill the invitation to clarify the report on the alleged forgery of diplomas.

Jokowi arrived at around 09.43 WIB using a black Toyota Innova. He was seen wearing a brown long-sleeved batik and black trousers, and was accompanied by his legal team.

Shortly after getting out of the vehicle, Jokowi only gave a brief statement to the media crew. "Later, yes," he said with a smile, then immediately entered the lobby of the Police Criminal Investigation Building, South Jakarta.

Jokowi's presence is part of the clarification process on the report of the Head of the Ulama and Activist Defenders Team (TPUA), Eggi Sudjana, who suspects Jokowi's bachelor's diploma is fake.

Previously, on Friday last week, Jokowi's legal team submitted original documents in the form of high school diplomas and universities to the Directorate of General Crimes (Dittipidum) of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

"We have submitted everything to the Criminal Investigation Department for follow-up and forensic laboratory tests," said Jokowi's lawyer, Yakup Hasibuan, at that time.

The diploma document was brought directly by the representative of Jokowi's family, Wahyudi Andrianto, who is the younger brother of Iriana Jokowi, given the sensitivity of the document. In addition, Jokowi's aide, Kompol Syarif Muhammad Fitriansyah, was also present.

Yakup emphasized that the submission of the original document was a form of Jokowi's commitment to support the investigation process carried out by Bareskrim in a transparent and legal manner.

Until now, the clarification process is still ongoing and there is no final conclusion from the police investigator.
