JAKARTA - Former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil will not attend the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police regarding the process of examining DNA samples that have been completed and will be announced today, Wednesday, August 20.

A series of DNA examinations or tests were carried out in handling cases of alleged defamation with reported Lisa Mariana.

"Since the beginning, Mr. RK has brought us legal counsel," said Ridwan Kamil's attorney, Muslim Butarbutar, to VOI, Wednesday, August 20.

The absence of his client was due to a task that could not be abandoned. However, the professional work in question was not conveyed.

In addition, his current presence is said to have little effect in the case handling process. It is different when the process of taking DNA samples requires Ridwan Kamil to be present in person.

"Technically and administratively, it is the duty of the attorney to carry it out, including receiving the results of today's DNA test at Bareskrim," said Muslim.

As previously reported, the results of the examination of samples related to DNA tests have been completed. So it will be announced Wednesday, August 20. "Yes, it looks like it will be tomorrow," said Muslim.

It is possible that DNA examination results will be presented, said Muslim, because they were contacted by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. During the communication, they were asked to attend the Criminal Investigation Unit.

"We were only asked to attend at 1 o'clock," he said.

Meanwhile, DNA sampling was carried out at Bareskrim Polri on August 7. Not only Ridwan Kamil, Lisa Mariana and her child also underwent a series of DNA tests.

Samples taken from all three are blood and saliva. Later, the sample will be examined to see whether DNA matches exist.

Ridwan Kamil previously reported Lisa Mariana to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police on suspicion of defamation on April 11, 2025. The report was recorded with the number LP/B/174/IV/2025/SPKT/BARESKRIM POLRI.

The investigation was handled by the Directorate of Cyber Crime (Dittipidsiber) of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

This case emerged after Lisa Mariana uploaded a screenshot of a private conversation that was allegedly between herself and Ridwan Kamil on her Instagram account on March 26, 2025.

In the upload, Lisa claimed to be pregnant with the child of the former Governor of West Java.
