JAKARTA - The Bareksrim Polri has postponed the handling of the alleged defamation case reported by Indra Kenz. This is because investigators are focusing on the Binomo case, which has named Crazy Rich Medan as a suspect.

"The case reported by IK has been temporarily postponed," said the Director of Special Economic Crimes at the National Police Bareskrim Brigadier General Whisnu Hermawan when contacted, Monday, March 7.

However, it is not explained in detail about how long the delay will be carried out. Whisnu only reiterated that he would first resolve the case of the alleged fraud under the guise of Binomo, which is currently under investigation.

"Currently, IK's case related to Binary Options is still in the fingerprinting process," he said.

Separately, the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Komjen Agus Andrianto, who was confirmed on a similar matter, said that it was very likely that the handling of the alleged defamation case would be stopped. The reason was that the case, which was initially reported to the Polda Metro Jaya, was deemed not to meet the criminal element. Because, in the Binomo case, Indra Kenz has been named a suspect.

"It should not be continued, not a criminal act," said Agus

For information, Indra Kenz had reported Nazara on suspicion of defamation to the Polda Metro Jaya. The report is registered with the number LP/B/660/II/2022/SPKT/Polda Metro Jaya.

Maru Nazara is one of eight people who reported Indra Kenz to the Criminal Investigation Police of the National Police. In the report, Maru Nazara as the reported party was suspected of violating Article 27 paragraph (3) in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph (3) of the Republic of Indonesia Law no. 19 of 2016 concerning amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions and or Article 310 of the Criminal Code and Article 311 of the Criminal Code.
