JAKARTA - Former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Roy Suryo was not arrested despite being a suspect in the Borobudur Temple stupa meme case similar to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). The reason Roy Suryo was not detained was because he was considered cooperative.

"Investigators consider that there is no need to detain the person concerned," said Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Friday, July 29.

The decision not to be detained is purely based on the investigator's consideration. In addition to being cooperative, Roy Suryo is also considered not to have lost evidence and so on.

"So the legal terms are based on investigators' considerations," said Zulpan.

Roy Suryo, who is also a telematics expert, was questioned for about 11 hours as a suspect on Thursday, July 28.

The examination is a continuation of the previous agenda. He was questioned on Friday, July 22.

The reason for the postponement of the previous examination which lasted approximately 12 hours at that time was because Roy Suryo admitted that his physical condition had deteriorated.

In this case, Roy Suryo was charged with Article 28 Paragraph 2 in conjunction with Article 45 Paragraph 2 of Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning ITE.

Then Article 156a of the Criminal Code and Article 15 of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning criminal law regulations.
