JAKARTA - Comedian Andre Taulany and Rina Nose were reported to the police because they were deemed to have played with the Latuconsina clan as a joke. Therefore, they were charged with the Information and Electronic Transaction (ITE) law.

The reporter in this case is one of the advocates, Ruswan, who bears the Latuconsina clan. He considers that a big family name is not something that deserves to be used as material for comedy or joke.

So, Ruwan decided to report the alleged defamation through electronic media. The report is registered under the number LP / 2880 / V / YAN 2.5 / 2020 / SPKT PMJ, dated 18 May. In this case, the reported suspect under Article 27 paragraph (3) in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph (3) of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 19 of 2016 concerning ITE and or Article 310 of the Criminal Code.

Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said, based on a police report (LP), the defamation case began when the two reported were filling in on a television program. At that time, they used the clan name Latuconsina as a joke. Thus, the reporting party responded and decided to report the alleged defamation.

"Both (reported) offended by reversing the big surname of PL, who did not accept and felt that they were being harassed by the two reported parties. Then they ordered one of them to report the coincidence that reported his advocacy," said Yusri in Jakarta, Tuesday, May 19. .

However, to prove whether there really is an element of defamation, the investigator will summon both parties to be questioned. However, the reporter and the witness he brought were the first to undergo an examination.

Unfortunately, it cannot yet be stated when the examination will take place. Then, after examining the reporter and the reported, the investigator will ask for an opinion from the expert witnesses and then will conduct a case title.

"Then we will clarify the reported reporters and then the other expert witnesses. We will wait and see how, if all are complete, then the case will be held whether it meets the elements of defamation according to what the reporter suspects," said Yusri.

Meanwhile, a criminal law observer from Al Azhar University Suparji Ahmad said that comedy often rubs against rising names. Not infrequently, comedians' jokes contain insulting sentences. So, that is what can ensnare them with a criminal article.

"Comedy must be careful, pay attention to religion, laws, morals, morals, ethics and ethnicity. Slander and insult sometimes appear to be elements in comedy," said Suparji.
