MS's Lawyer Suspects There Is A Subterfuge Behind The Defamation Report Against MS

JAKARTA - Rony Hutahaen as MS's attorney assessed that the police officers' rejection of the ITE Law report by alleged perpetrators of harassment could confirm that the police work very professionally and objectively.

"I suspect this counter-report is just a trick, a trick, a mere maneuver, and not purely on the basis of a criminal element according to the lawyer of the reported party," said Rony, Saturday, September 11.

Once again, he continued, the refusal emphasized that the police were working professionally and transparently.

"I agree that counter-reports should not be used as a tool to pressure, terrorize, frighten, and undermine someone's conviction for reporting a criminal," he said.

According to Rony, if the reported police report is received (the police) it will endanger the survivors. Because at this time, MS is in the process of revealing the truth of the criminal incident that happened to him.

"The reported police report should be rejected. Because people should not think that the police report is used as a tool to pressure the victim or someone to withdraw the police report," he said.

Previously reported, the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Yusri Yunus said that the reason for the rejection was because the case of alleged perpetrators of EO and RT harassment was still ongoing at the Central Jakarta Metro Police Headquarters.

"So, for example, I was accused of stealing, this is being processed by the police but suddenly I don't accept my report of defamation. Is it okay? This is not the end of the first problem," Yusri said when confirmed by VOI, Saturday, September 11.

Yusri explained, if the case is finished and the result is that EO and RT are found guilty, then both of them cannot report MS for defamation.

Unless the results of the investigation found both of them not guilty. Then the EO and RT can continue to report to the police for defamation. "So this is still an investigation and investigation. It's time to immediately report back on defamation," said Yusri.
