JAKARTA - Bareskrim Polri has transferred the suspect Sugi Nur Raharja alias Gus Nur along with evidence to the Attorney General's Office, Wednesday, December 23. This delegation was carried out after the investigating prosecutor assessed the investigation file for the alleged hate speech against Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) was complete or P21.

"Yes, it is true, investigators delegate phase II of the SNR suspect to the Attorney General's Office," said Head of Public Relations of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono in his briefing, Thursday, December 24.

With the completion of the transfer of suspects and evidence, it means that Gus Nur will undergo trial on the case.

Meanwhile, Bareskrim Polri investigators previously detained Sugi Nur Rahardja alias Gus Nur for the alleged spread of hate speech. The detention was carried out after Gus Nur was named a suspect.

Gus Nur was named a suspect in a case of spreading hate speech shortly after being arrested at his residence in Pakis District, Malang, East Java, on October 24.

Gus Nur was reported by the Head of the Cirebon Branch of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Management Azis Hakim to the Police Criminal Investigation Unit. The report numbered LP / B / 0596 / X / 2020 / Bareskrim dated 21 October 2020.

The reporting was because Gus Nur was considered to be spreading information that caused hatred or enmity related to Nahdlatul Ulama through a statement he uploaded on the MUNJIAT Channel's Youtube account on October 16, 2020.

In reporting, Gus Nur allegedly violated Article 27 paragraph (3) and Article 28 paragraph (2) of Law Number (UU) 19/2016 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE).
