JAKARTA - Investigators have examined six witnesses to follow up on the reporting of Garuda's flight attendant, Siwi Sidi Purwanti, to the social media account @digeeembok. One of them was examined today, Monday, January 27.
Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said that the witness who was questioned was a stewardess. He will be explored for information regarding his relationship with the reporting party.
"So there is one questioned today. When the examination has been completed, there will be a total of 6 witnesses," said Yusri in Jakarta, Monday, January 27.
He added that there should be one more person being examined today. However, he did not come because he was busy with his work.
Meanwhile, the person reported in this case, the anonymous account @digeeembok, is still not identified by the police. Investigators, said Yusri, are currently searching for information on this matter.
Separately, the witness who was questioned by the police today, Cyndyana Lorens said, was asked 43 questions by investigators. The question is about her job as a flight attendant. He was questioned by the police for more than three hours.
"(The question) is about work, such as what salary, how many hours you fly each month," said Lorens.
In addition, to investigators, Lorens also explained that he did not know Siwi Sidi. Even though he admits Siwi is his junior in the world of aviation.
"I do not know at all. Never one base because he (Siwi) is a junior," said Lorens.
Meanwhile, Lorens' attorney, Machi Ahmad added, they had submitted some additional evidence, such as capturing the screen of the conversation on the Whatsapp short message application for the purpose of an investigation.
Ahmad said Lorens was also ready to submit a checking account to prove that he was not involved in the case. At the same time, he clarified that he had no relationship with the top brass of the state-owned airline company.
"We are ready to include some other evidence to prove our client was not involved," Machi said.
Previously reported, Siwi Sidi Purwanti, reported the Twitter account @digeeembok on the accusation of defamation. Siwi thinks it is just as good to defame the account, because it is said to be the deposit of one of the state-owned airline's top brass.
The Siwi Sidi report has been registered under the number LP / 8420 / XII / 2019 / PMJ / Dit. Reskrimsus, dated December 28, 2019. So with this report, the owner of the Twitter account was charged under Article 27 paragraph 3 in conjunction with Article 43 paragraph 3 of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to RI Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning ITE and / or Article 310 of the Criminal Code / or Article 311 of the Criminal Code.
Meanwhile, related to the @digeeembok account, it was previously known that it was also reported by the Vice President for Cabin Crew of PT Garuda Indonesia, Roni Eka Mirsa. This is because the officials of the state-owned company are said to be pimps.
In an effort to investigate the case, Friday, December 6, the statement of the reporter has been taken. Thus, on suspicion of defamation, the owner of the Twitter account may be subject to Article 27 paragraph 3 of the 2019 Law concerning ITE and 310, 311 of the Criminal Code, which carries approximately four years imprisonment.
