The problems faced by Agnez Mo and Ari Bias continue with an appeal at the Supreme Court. What needs to be remembered is that the legal process is not only in the civil realm, but also criminally.

As is known, Ari Bias reported Agnez Mo for alleged copyright infringement to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarters in June 2024.

Unlike the civil lawsuit that has been decided in the first instance court, the report is not clear about the continuation, aka the road on the spot.

Minola Sebayang as Ari Bias' attorney revealed that police investigators had difficulty summoning Agnez Mo because the 38-year-old singer lived in the United States.

"So far, investigators have told us that they have not been able to call Agnez because she is not in Indonesia," Minola told the media crew in Kuningan, South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 19.

However, with Agnez's current presence in Indonesia, investigators should be able to summon the 'Party in Bali' singer, to provide clarification regarding the report.

"So, we hope that investigators, because they already know Agnez is already in Indonesia, can even come to the podcast to explain this problem, she must also be summoned by Bareskrim investigators at the National Police Headquarters, and be present to explain everything she wants to explain to police investigators," said Minola.

"So, don't avoid being called. Where should you, because he knows there is a report, just come first to clarify. So, don't let law enforcement not run at the Criminal Investigation Unit," he continued.

Previously, Ari Bias' attorney stated that the verdict in the civil realm, although there were still legal remedies from Agnez Mo, which could be used by the police as a bright spot to determine copyright infringement.

"This criminal process is still ongoing. During this time, maybe Bareskrim has not found it, this is a very rare legal action," he said.

"There may be pros and cons of opinion, but with this (perdata) decision, even if they have further efforts, this is already a bright spot that copyright infringement has indeed occurred, Agnez Mo's song Ari Bias was performed in a concert, did not ask for permission, while the live concert was commercial, there was a payment made by the organizer to Agnez Mo," he continued.

Minola believes that the decision of the Central Jakarta Commercial Court which states that Agnez Mo has committed copyright infringement can be the basis for police investigators to identify suspects.

"So with this condition, there should be no more doubt (for) investigators to raise Agnez Mo's status as a suspect, and the legal process will run according to Article 113 (the Law on Copyright)," he said.

However, Minola stated that his client was still open to restorative justice, if Agnez Mo showed good faith by paying a loss fine according to a civil decision.

"But if there is good faith then, there is restorative justice, and he carries out the contents of the decision by paying the fine. So maybe Ari Bias can forgive me and withdraw his report," he said. .
