Jusuf Hamka to Report Media Executive Over Alleged Perjury in Lawsuit

Indonesian businessman Jusuf Hamka is taking legal action after a court dismissed a Rp1 trillion civil lawsuit against him. He plans to report individuals for alleged criminal acts, including perjury and using backdated documents, during the trial. Hamka claims this constitutes criminalization, with former finance managers allegedly coerced into providing false statements and documents.

"This is a form of criminalization against me. There was a manipulation of our former finance manager in court to create false documents and give false testimony. We will report that to the authorities," Hamka stated during an interview in Tangerang. He also intends to issue a legal warning regarding debt collection and claims for personal expenses he previously covered for the involved parties.

Hamka expressed gratitude for the court's decision, which favored his position. The rulings, issued between April and May 2026, confirmed the lawsuit against him was unfounded. "Praise be to God, all lawsuits were rejected, and I was proven right. Truth will find its own way," he said.

His lawyer, Sogi, confirmed that the legal team is gathering supporting evidence before officially filing a report with the Polda Metro Jaya. "We are still discussing the technicalities with Mr. Jusuf. Essentially, we will pursue legal remedies because we have already collected the evidence. In the near future, the report will be submitted to the Polda Metro Jaya," Sogi stated. The team is also calculating the potential damages for the next legal action.
