As a reminder, this case stems from an official report submitted directly by President Jokowi to the Polda Metro Jaya. He reported the parties who accused him of using fake diplomas as a form of defamation.
The report refers to a number of articles in the Criminal Code (KUHP), namely Articles 310 and 311 concerning defamation. In addition, investigators also apply Article 27A, Article 32, and Article 35 of the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (UU ITE).
Jokowi emphasized that this legal step was taken so that the accusations that had been developing could be handled openly and thoroughly.
"Yes, this is actually a minor matter, yes, it is a matter of alleged fake diplomas. But it does need to be brought to the realm of law so that everything is clear and clear," said Jokowi.
Until now, investigators are still clarifying and collecting evidence to follow up on the report legally.
