JAKARTA - The deputy chairman of the Golkar Party, Erwin Aksa, revealed the reasons behind his decision to report Muhammad Romahurmuziy or Rommy on suspicion of defamation to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. Rommy, Chairman of the United Development Party Advisory Council (PPP), called Erwin Aksa, has accused him of being a fraud.

"So there were Rommy words saying I was a liar, I was a fraud, I was the perpetrator. I thought the statement defamed me," Erwin said when confirmed, Friday, May 12.

The statement, which was considered an insult, was made by Rommy on the Total Politics podcast on May 2.

However, Erwin did not elaborate further on the context of Rommy calling him a fraud. However, it is suspected that it is related to a check worth Rp35 billion.

He only made a statement from Rommy that had a big impact on his work. This is because many of his relationships are affected by these accusations.

"This means that many accuse me of being a fraud, my bank also asks me of my status as a customer, so I have to clarify," he said.

"They don't believe in me right now, this is because of a lot of things. I am disturbed and can't play games because this is a matter of credibility for me as a master," continued Erwin.

For that reason, Erwin Aksa reported Rommy to the Criminal Investigation Unit on May 8. The report has also been registered with the number LP/B/90/V/2023/SPKT/Bareskrim Polri.

Head of Public Relations Division, Kombes Nurul Azizah, confirmed the report. The report relates to allegations of defamation.

"That it is true that on May 8 it has been reported. However, the current process is still in the SPKT Bareskrim Polri," said Nurul.

In the report, Rommy is suspected of violating Article 45 (3) in conjunction with Article 27 (3) of Law No. 19 of 2016 concerning ITE and/or Article 310 (1) of the Criminal Code and/or 311 (1) of the Criminal Code,
