Roy Suryo on Completed Case File: 'For Now, I'll Just Smile'

Prosecutors in Indonesia have declared the case file against Roy Suryo and Tifauziah Tyassuma, also known as dr Tifa, as complete. The charges stem from allegations of spreading false information regarding Indonesian President Joko Widodo's diploma. With the case file now declared P21, the legal proceedings against both individuals are set to advance to the trial stage.

“

Officially, it will be responded to by my lawyers today. So for now, I'll just smile.

Roy Suryo, a former Minister of Youth and Sports, offered a brief response to the development, stating that his legal team would provide an official statement. He indicated he would "just smile for now" regarding the case status. Suryo also voiced skepticism about the police's explanation of the case's completeness, suggesting the information provided was not explicitly clear about the P21 status and was delivered too briefly during a press conference.

“

This means it is not explicitly called 'P21' and it was explained very briefly in the press conference with details. This means there is some hesitation there, he-he-he.

Suryo further commented on what he perceived as ambiguity in the information provided by the authorities. "This means it is not explicitly called 'P21' and it was explained very briefly in the press conference with details," he said, adding, "This means there is some hesitation there, he-he-he." Previously, the Polda Metro Jaya had named eight suspects in the case. However, the legal process for three of them, Eggi Sudjana, Damai Hari Lubis, and Rismon Sianipar, was halted through the issuance of a letter of investigation termination (SP3). The remaining five suspects are continuing with the legal proceedings.

So we are currently coordinating for the handover of evidence and the suspects.
