Spokesperson for the NTB Prosecutor's Office, Efrien Saputera, said that his party continued the detention of MF after receiving delegation or phase two from police investigators on Thursday, February 23. "Therefore, starting from February 23, 2023 to March 14, 2023, the suspect MF is undergoing the first phase of detention by the public prosecutor at the Class IIA Mataram Prison, Kuripan, West Lombok Regency," said Efrien in Mataram, Antara, Friday, February 24. The delegation of the suspect MF from police investigators on Thursday was carried out together with the submission of evidence to the public prosecutor. The evidence relates to alleged violations of the Republic of Indonesia Law regarding information and electronic transactions (ITE). Efrien said that the implementation of phase two was a follow-up to the results of the prosecutor's research which stated that the case file belonging to the suspect was complete or P-21. "Yes, so, stage two is a follow-up to the file belonging to the suspect which has been declared P-21," he said. Investigators in the case file have named MF as a suspect for allegedly violating Article 14 and/or Article 15 of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning criminal law regulations and/or Article 28 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph (2) of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 19 of 2016 concerning amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE). Article 14 and Article 15 of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning Criminal Law Regulations regulates the issue of spreading fake news which can cause trouble in the community with a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Then for Article 28 paragraph (2) of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 19 of 2016 concerning amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2008 concerning information and electronic transactions, it regulates the matter of broadcasting information that can cause hatred or hostility between individuals and groups. For criminal threats, it is regulated in Article 45 paragraph (2) of Law No. 19 of 2016 concerning amendments to Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning information and electronic transactions with a maximum sentence of 6 years in prison and a fine of IDR 1 billion. Police investigators previously detained the suspect MF after undergoing his first examination as a suspect in the NTB Police Criminal Investigation Sub-Directorate room on January 6, 2023. Investigators detained the suspect MF at the NTB Police Detention Center to anticipate the suspect's efforts to eliminate evidence, repeat the act, and run away. The handling of this case also began with an official report related to MF's question in one of the social media conversation groups suspected of cornering the NTB DPRD. Before the report was received by the police, the NTB DPRD had sent a summons to MF. However, in 2 consecutive days, MF did not respond to this, so based on the pressure of all members of the NTB DPRD, Baiq Isvie Rupaedah as chairman reported MF to the police.
