Introduction
The host, Budius Mauruf Piliang, introduces the topic of the video: the defamation case against Mr. Jokowi. He mentions that the final questioning of the reporting witnesses, Silvester Matutina and Ade Darmawan, has just concluded. The police investigators will hold a case conference and potentially summon the reported parties, with the determination and announcement of suspects possibly following soon after.
Examination of Reporting Witness Ade Darmawan
Ade Darmawan describes his experience as a reporting witness, noting that the investigators focused on the 12 individuals with complete evidence. He cannot reveal the specific questions and answers due to the ongoing investigation, but he confirms that the questioning was detailed, even including inquiries about phone numbers. Darmawan expresses confidence that the police will soon determine the suspects, mentioning names like Ro Suryo, Rismon, and Rizal Fadilah. He highlights Roy Suryo's significant role since 2020 in attempting to discredit Joko Widodo.
The Role of Experts and Academic Governance
Darmawan discusses the status of an expert, emphasizing that they must be sworn in to provide valid testimony. He argues that experts should consult with the subject of their research, such as Mr. Jokowi, before conducting any examination. Darmawan also points out that UGM (Gadjah Mada University) has an academic and student governance system that manages student data, and any data inquiries should be directed there.
Defamation and the Element of Intent
The discussion shifts to the element of defamation in the case, with the investigator questioning whether individuals like Tifa are suitable to be service researchers. Darmawan states that Mr. Jokowi's diploma is valid. He explains that analog diplomas require different forensic analysis compared to digital ones. The investigator also confirmed whether Roy Surio or Rismon are experts and who gave them permission to act as such.
Holy Friday and Potential Arrests
Darmawan advises Roy Suryo to rest and pray, suggesting that the investigation is nearing its end. He mentions the concept of "Holy Friday" within the police force, where suspects are often announced and detained on Fridays before the weekend. He explains that detention is typically carried out for 24 hours, after which an arrest warrant must be issued.
Intimidation and Personal Data Protection
Darmawan discusses the intimidation tactics used against Mr. Jokowi, such as protesting in front of his house and demanding to see his diploma. He argues that this constitutes psychological violence and violates personal data protection laws. Forcing someone to reveal personal data is a violation of the law, and Mr. Jokowi's diploma is protected under personal data protection regulations.
Incitement and the Role of Social Media
The conversation touches on the ease of identifying incitement and the role of social media in spreading defamatory statements. Darmawan emphasizes that statements claiming Mr. Jokowi does not have a diploma are slanderous and incite hatred. He notes that younger demographics are particularly susceptible to such influence.
The Concept of "Holy Friday" Explained
Darmawan elaborates on the "Holy Friday" tradition in the police force, where suspects are often detained on Fridays before the weekend. He explains that this allows investigators to take advantage of the weekend to process the case without interference.
Final Stages of the Investigation
Darmawan expresses hope that the questioning of reporting witnesses is complete and that the next step will be summoning the accused. He believes that the investigators have gathered sufficient evidence to proceed with the case.
Denying the Undeniable and Scientific Crime
Darmawan asserts that the 12 individuals involved can no longer deny their actions, as their motive was not scientific research but defamation. He argues that the police are conducting a scientific crime investigation, using expertise to examine the evidence.
The Absurdity of the Accusations
Darmawan questions the logic of accusing Mr. Jokowi of not having a diploma when UGM has confirmed its authenticity. He points out that UGM was established to produce leaders and would not risk its reputation by accommodating someone with a fake diploma.
The Role of UGM and Academic Governance
Darmawan reiterates that UGM's academic and student governance is the authority on verifying diplomas. He notes that even former UGM rector Prof. Sofyan Effendi was tricked into making false statements by Rismon and Roy Suryo.
Roy Suryo's Claims and the Burden of Proof
Darmawan addresses Roy Suryo's claim that he will reveal new evidence in court proving Mr. Jokowi's diploma is fake. He argues that if Suryo were truly certain of his claims, he wouldn't need to search for further evidence.
The Public's Perception and the Call for Justice
The discussion touches on the public's growing awareness of the case and their desire for justice. Darmawan mentions that there have been public demonstrations calling for the arrest and imprisonment of Roy Suryo and his associates.
Legal Consequences and Multiple Reports
Darmawan explains that there are two separate reports filed in this case, which could result in double the punishment for the accused. He clarifies that the sentences could run consecutively rather than concurrently.
The Involvement of Abraham Samad
The conversation turns to the involvement of former KPK chairman Abraham Samad in the case. Darmawan explains that Samad's statements to the media, claiming criminalization and denying wrongdoing, are part of the incitement.
Criminalization vs. Legal Process
Darmawan clarifies the difference between criminalization and due legal process. He argues that being found guilty by a court does not constitute criminalization but rather the result of a legal process.
Abraham Samad's Legal Expertise and Potential Strategies
Darmawan acknowledges Abraham Samad's legal expertise as a former KPK chairman and suggests that he may employ various legal strategies to defend himself. He also notes the possibility of Samad becoming a "justice collaborator" to reduce his sentence.
The Possibility of a Justice Collaborator
The discussion centers on the potential for one of the 12 accused to become a justice collaborator, revealing the masterminds and financiers behind the defamation campaign. Darmawan explains that investigators have the authority to grant justice collaborator status based on the quality of the evidence provided.
Prabowo's Visit to Solo and Potential Implications
The conversation shifts to Prabowo Subianto's visit to Solo and its potential implications for the case. The hosts speculate that the visit may have caused concern among those involved in the defamation campaign.
The Importance of Natural Selection and Leadership
The discussion touches on the importance of natural selection in leadership and the need to support leaders who prioritize the nation's prosperity.
Closing Statements and Final Thoughts
Darmawan concludes by stating that he has made his closing statement for the case and will await the trial. He expresses hope that justice will be served and that those found guilty will face the appropriate legal consequences. The host emphasizes the possibility of a justice collaborator emerging and the potential for those behind the defamation to be revealed.
