JAKARTA - The police are still processing reports on the alleged defamation of the Latuconsina clan by comedian Andre Taulany and Rina Nose, even though Latuconsina's extended family has forgiven them.

This is because the report made by Ruswan Latuconsina has not been revoked. So there is no reason for the police to stop investigating the report with the apologies of Andre and Rina to the Latuconsina family.

"There has been no withdrawal of the report yet, it is still in the process of investigation," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus, Wednesday, May 20.

Regarding the possibility of withdrawal of the report number LP / 2880 / V / YAN 2.5 / 2020 / SPKT PMJ, dated May 18, he could not confirm. Because it is no longer his party's domain.

"Regarding that, please ask directly to the person concerned (the reporter). But for now there is no (withdraw the report)," concluded Yusri.

Meanwhile, comedians Andre Taulany and Rina Nose were reported to the police because they were considered 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.

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.

The case for defamation began when the two reported 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

Apologies to Andre and Rina

Quoting the Instagram account @ prilltlatuconsina96, the extended family with the Latuconsina clan has no problem with Andre and Rina's jokes, which are considered an insult.

"The Latuconsina extended family from Kampung Pelau, legowo and accepting the apologies of Mr. Andre and Ka Rina Nose," wrote Prilly in his Instagram Insta Story upload.

In addition, Prilly, who is also an artist in the capital city, wrote that the two comedians had no insulting intent behind their jokes. This is because both of them did not know about the Latuconsina clan.

"All of this was pure accident and ignorance of the Latu clan," wrote Prilly.

In his upload, continued Prilly, he did not know the reporter in the case at all. Then, the reporter also has a different area or hometown.

At the end of the writing in his upload, Prilly juva appealed to all people with the Latuconsina clan to forgive the two comedians.

"Allah Almighty alone is Most Forgiving, should we humans as a wrong place to also forgive each other," wrote Prilly.
