JAKARTA - The deputy chairman of the Golkar Party, Erwin Aksa, is said to be willing to fulfill the summons for clarification on the alleged defamation case he reported to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. He will provide information next week. "Based on brother EA's lawyer next week EA can attend the Police Criminal Investigation Unit," said Karo Penmas of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan to reporters, Thursday, June 15. Erwin Aksa was originally scheduled to report the Chairman of the United Development Party Advisory Council (PPP), Rommy, for calling him a fraud. However, regarding the timing of the examination and so on, Ramadhan has not been able to convey it. This is because investigators are still coordinating with the lawyer for the Golkar politician. "For further information certainty, it will be confirmed by the lawyer of EA's brother," said Ramadhan. Erwin Aksa was originally scheduled to provide information on Tuesday, June 6. However, he did not fulfill it without any reason Erwin Aksa reported Rommy on suspicion of defamation 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. The reason behind the report was because Rommy was said to have accused him of being a fraud about a blank check worth Rp35 billion.

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.
