  • Prosecutors have refiled the case against Tifauziah Tyassuma, accused of forging President Joko Widodo's diploma, to the East Jakarta District Court.
  • The court previously accepted an objection to the indictment, leading prosecutors to revise it.
  • The new trial, starting with a fresh indictment reading, is scheduled to begin on August 6, 2026.

The legal battle over an alleged forged diploma of Indonesian President Joko Widodo is set to continue, with prosecutors refiling their case against Tifauziah Tyassuma to the East Jakarta District Court. The case, which accuses Tyassuma of forging the president's academic credentials, will see a new trial commence on August 6, 2026.

This refiling follows a previous setback for the prosecution. The court had previously accepted an objection, known as an eksepsi, filed by Tyassuma's legal team. This ruling deemed the initial indictment flawed and unclear, effectively halting the proceedings at that stage.

Prosecutors have since revised their charges and submitted the case again. The East Jakarta District Court confirmed the refiling on July 28, 2026, with the case number 354/Pid.B/2026/PN Jktim. The new trial will begin from the start, with a fresh reading of the indictment, before judges Christina Endarwati, Rudi Rafli Siregar, and Mathilda Chrystina Katarina.
