Roy Suryo Case: Ex-Deputy Police Chief Calls for Case Dismissal After SP3 for Eggi Sudjana & Damai Hari Lubis

Former Police Official Calls for Broad Dismissal of Cases Following SP3 for Roy Suryo Associates

Thursday, February 12, 2026 – Former Deputy Chief of Police, Komjen (Purn) Oegroseno, has stated that the recent decision to issue an SP3 (Surat Perintah Penghentian Penyidikan – Order for Cessation of Investigation) to Eggi Sudjana and Damai Hari Lubis in the alleged false diploma case involving former President Joko Widodo should lead to the dismissal of charges against Roy Suryo and others also implicated in the matter.

Oegroseno argued that the scope of the SP3 should extend to all individuals initially reported by the Jokowi camp. “The latest development, the SP3 for Eggi Sudjana and Damai Hari Lubis, explicitly and implicitly means that, because they [the Jokowi camp] filed the report against 8 people, the cessation of investigation should also be given to everyone who was reported, not just 2 people receiving an SP3 while others are left out,” Oegroseno said after being examined as an expert witness at the Metro Jaya Police headquarters in Jakarta.

According to Oegroseno, his testimony to investigators focused on the police report filed by the Jokowi camp under articles 310 and 311 of the old Criminal Code, concerning defamation and slander. He stated that historically, such complaints have not involved reporting more than one individual as a perpetrator in a single case of alleged defamation or slander.

The call for a broader dismissal comes amidst ongoing legal challenges. Roy Suryo and Ahmad Khozinudin were previously reported to the Metro Jaya Police by Eggi Sudjana and Damai Hari Lubis for alleged defamation. Khozinudin, in a statement released on Monday, January 26, 2026, expressed concern over the SP3 granted to Sudjana and Lubis, arguing it was improperly applied given the potential penalties involved. He maintained that the charges against Sudjana and Lubis carried potential prison sentences exceeding five years, disqualifying them from receiving restorative justice under the new Criminal Code (UU No 20/2025).

Khozinudin further asserted that the requirements for restorative justice – including a formal apology and acknowledgement of wrongdoing regarding the authenticity of Jokowi’s diploma – were not met by Sudjana and Lubis. He pointed out that Sudjana and Lubis were initially reported not only by Jokowi but also by Andi Kurniawan, Lechumanan, and Samuel Sueken.

Roy Suryo’s legal team has also challenged the SP3 issued to Eggi Sudjana and Damai Hari Lubis, deeming the procedure legally flawed. According to a report, Roy Suryo and his colleagues are planning to contest the SP3, citing procedural errors.

The Metro Jaya Police confirmed on Sunday, January 25, 2026, that they had received two police reports regarding defamation against Roy Suryo and Ahmad Khozinudin. Police spokesperson Kombes Budi Hermanto stated that the reports, filed by Eggi Sudjana and Damai Hari Lubis, centered on allegations of defamation and slander through electronic media and social media. Damai Hari Lubis reportedly accused Khozinudin of incitement based on his travel to Solo, and of labeling him a “traitor” and a “tuyul-tuyul” (a supernatural being in Indonesian folklore).

The Directorate of Criminal Investigation is currently preparing the administrative investigation and is expected to summon the individuals involved for questioning, potentially within the week or the following week, according to Kombes Budi Hermanto.

The cases involve articles 433 and/or 434 of Law Number 1 of 2023 (KUHP) and/or Article 27A in conjunction with Article 45 paragraphs (4) and (6) of Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning ITE.
