JAKARTA - Former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Roy Suryo reported seven people suspected of being supporters of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to the Polda Metro Jaya for alleged defamation and slander, related to the possession of a fake ijzah and involvement in the Hambalang case.
Roy Suryo said the report was made on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at the Integrated Police Service Center (SPKT) of the Polda Metro Jaya and has been registered with the number STTLP/B/114/I/2026/SPKT/POLDA METRO JAYA.
"Before reporting, I asked for permission and coordinated with the legal team under the coordination of Mr. Abraham Samad, Mr. Petrus Selestinus, and Mr. Ahmad Khozinudin," Roy Suryo told reporters at the Polda Metro Jaya Criminal Investigation Unit building, Thursday, January 8, 2026.
He explained that the seven people reported were called with the initials A, B, D, F, L, U, and V. The complete identities of the reported persons along with evidence, screenshots, links, and transcripts of statements have been submitted to investigators.
According to Roy, the report was made because he was accused of having a fake diploma, ranging from S1, S2, to S3 levels. The accusation, said Roy, was a form of slander and defamation.
"I have an S1 and S2 diploma from Gadjah Mada University and an S3 from the State University of Jakarta. All of them are original and can be tested for validity," he said.
In addition to the accusation of a fake diploma, Roy Suryo also admitted that he was slandered for being involved in the Hambalang project corruption case. He strongly denied the accusation and emphasized that he had never been involved in the case.
