The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police is said to be examining PDI-P (PDIP) cadres regarding the reporting of alleged defamation with the reported Minister of Cooperatives (Menkop) Budi Arie, today, Wednesday, June 18.
The PDIP cadre, Wiradarma Harefa, confirmed the investigation plan. Based on the letter of invitation for clarification received, the collection of information will be carried out at 10.00 WIB.
"Yes, that's right, today we were summoned to Bareskrim," said Wiradarma to VOI, Wednesday, June 18.
The report on the alleged defamation was discovered in the aftermath of Budi Arie's statement that the framing of him received a commission on online gambling cases (judol) being masterminded by PDIP and Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Budi Gunawan or BG.
The report is registered with the number LP/B/250/V/2025/SPKT/Bareskrim Polri, dated May 27, 2025. Several pieces of evidence have been submitted during the reporting process.
"So the evidence that we can convey is that there is a complete video, there is a complete recording of the conversation that Budi Arie had with one of the media, so from there we made a report," said Wiradarma when he was about to make a report.
Meanwhile, a recorded voice recording was circulated by the alleged Minister of Cooperatives Budi Arie Setiadi who communicated with a journalist. Budi said that his framing was commissioned on online gambling cases (judol) being masterminded by PDIP and Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Budi Gunawan or BG.
The voice recording is known to be a communication between Budi Arie and journalist Ratastv.co, Agus Supriyanto.
In the voice recording that is suspected to be Budi Arie, he clearly and clearly said that journalists should not be carried away by the framing game of PDIP and Budi Gunawan or BG who cornered him in the judol case.
Budi Arie's name appeared in the indictment of the alleged protection of online gambling sites by a number of unscrupulous Ministry of Communication and Information employees. The indictment was read out by the public prosecutor (JPU) at the South Jakarta District Court on Wednesday (14/5).
In the indictment, Budi Arie is said to have received 50 percent of the commission from the practice of protecting judol sites so as not to be blocked by the Ministry of Communication and Information.
The defendants in this case are Zulkarnaen Apriliantony (Budi Arie's friend), Adhi Kismanto (Ministry of Communication and Information), Alwin Jabarti Kiemas (President Director of PT Djelas Tandangan Bersama), and Muhrijan alias Agus (the decision of the Director of the Ministry of Communication and Information).
