JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya invites all elements of society to respect the legal process that runs independently regarding the transfer of the second phase of the alleged defamation case that ensnared Roy Suryo and Tifauzia Tyassuma (doctor Tifa).
"Let's together respect this legal process to run independently. This legal process does not run on its own, but has gone through a long constitutional series," said Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto, quoted by Antara, Monday, June 22.
He explained that the transfer of suspects and evidence to the South Jakarta District Attorney's Office (Kejari) was carried out after the case file was declared complete (P21) by the prosecutor's office.
He emphasized that the entire series, from public reports to forced efforts, was a fulfillment of a legitimate and accountable procedure.
Meanwhile, the Director of Criminal Investigation (Dirreskrimum) of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Pol Iman Imanuddin, appealed to the public, including figures, to provide good legal education to the public, rather than building narratives on social media.
"I invite, let's all elements together to educate the public on how to legislate correctly and well, according to the norms set out in the KUHAP (Code of Criminal Procedure), not through narratives on social media, not through provocative narratives that are not true," said Iman.
He also emphasized that the Indonesian judicial system has provided a legal space for parties who object to the investigation process, namely through the pre-trial or internal police supervisory process, not by intervening in public opinion.
He also ensured that the police acted objectively without considering the background, profession, or reputation of a person.
"We still rely on the Criminal Procedure Code. If there are things that feel inappropriate, there is a mechanism called pre-trial. There is also internal supervision. All these channels can be used," said Iman.
Previously, Roy Suryo's lawyer, Ahmad Khozinudin, asked the South Jakarta District Attorney's Office to be professional and not detain his client in the second phase of transfer.
"As long as law enforcement can be carried out without detention, detention is no longer necessary to be carried out," said Khozinudin at the Metro Jaya Police, Monday.
He also accompanied Roy Suryo who was transferred from the Kramat Jati Police Hospital to the Metro Jaya Police to complete the administrative process before being handed over to the Jaksel Prosecutor's Office along with the evidence of the case.
He assessed that the administrative process at the police investigation level tends to be excessive, and according to him, investigators have other legal options other than making arrests or detentions.
"One of them is through the formal summoning mechanism regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP)," said Khozinud.
