The Directorate of General Crimes (Dittipidum) of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police stated that the bachelor's diploma of the Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada University (UGM) owned by former President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was genuine.
Dirtipidum Bareskrim Polri Brigadier General Djuhandhani Rahardjo Puro said the results were obtained after investigators together with the Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabfor) of the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency examined the diploma scientifically.
"Investigators obtained original diploma documents numbered 1120 on behalf of Joko Widodo with NIM (student number) 1681/KT of the Faculty of Forestry UGM on November 5, 1985," he said at a press conference reported by ANTARA, Thursday, May 22.
The diploma, he said, was tested in a laborative manner with a comparison sample in the form of a diploma from three of Jokowi's colleagues during a lecture at the Faculty of Forestry, UGM.
The tests included paper materials, paper safety, printing techniques, handwritten ink, stamps, and the signatures of the dean and chancellor at the time.
As a result, it was known that Jokowi's diploma, which was proof of the diploma that was a comparison, was identical.
"From the research, the evidence and comparison are identical or come from the same product," he said.
In addition to diplomas, Dittipidum and Puslabfor also tested the authenticity of Jokowi's thesis entitled Study on the Consumption Pattern of Lapis Wood at the Final Use in the City of Madya Surakarta.
"The script has been tested by Puslabfor by comparing the thesis of his senior and junior colleagues, Mr. Joko Widodo," said Brigadier General Pol. Djuhandhani.
As a result, investigators identified two types of tik machines used in making the thesis, namely an elite tik letter machine and a pica letter.
In Jokowi's thesis, the typing machine used is type pica. In addition, the thesis ratification sheet is made using a press printer technique so that if it is felt the writing is uneven or concave.
"Against the laboratory test, it was in accordance with the information from the printing company owner at that time, so it was answered that there was no printing process using other tools other than a press or press printing machine and print press tool," he said.
