Will Lisa have to report to Mariana after not being detained? This is what the National Police said

Jakarta – The National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit has not detained Lisa Mariana even though she has been named as a suspect in the alleged defamation case of former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil (RK). Will Lisa be required to report? “Not yet temporarily (subject to mandatory reporting),” Head of Sub-Directorate I Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri, Kombes Rizki Agung Prakoso, told reporters on Friday (24/10/2025). Rizki explained that Lisa Mariana was charged with articles 310 and 311 of the penal code. The threat of imprisonment in this article is a maximum of four years. Scroll TO CONTINUE “The threat of punishment cannot be withheld,” he explained. For information, section 310 of the Penal Code regulates defamation or insults, while Section 311 of the Penal Code regulates defamation. According to the provisions, law enforcement officers can detain a suspect if the sentence carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison or more. The following is the article that ensnared Lisa Mariana, the suspect: Article 310 (1) Any person who deliberately attacks someone’s honor or good name by accusing them of something, with the clear intention of making it known to the public, is liable for defamation to a maximum imprisonment of nine months or a maximum fine of four thousand five hundred rupiah. (2) If it is done by means of writing or images that are broadcast, displayed or posted in public, the penalty for written defamation is a maximum imprisonment of one year and four months or a maximum fine of four thousand five hundred rupiah. (3) It is not defamation or written defamation if the act is clearly carried out in the public interest or because it is forced to defend itself. Section 311 (1) If the person who commits the crime of defamation or written defamation is allowed to prove that what he is accused of is true, but does not prove it, and the accusation is made contrary to what is known, then he is threatened with defamation with a maximum prison sentence of four years. (2) Revocation of rights based on section 35 No. 1 – 3 can be omitted. This case started when Lisa accused RK of being the father of her child. RK, who did not accept this and felt that his good name had been defamed, then reported the matter to the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit. RK and Lisa facilitated a DNA test by the National Police. The DNA test results showed that Lisa’s child did not have identical DNA to RK. Bareskrim also had time to mediate between Lisa and RK. However, mediation ended in deadlock. The matter of RK’s defamation has escalated to the level of investigation. Investigators then opened a case and named Lisa as a suspect. Today, investigators spent five hours investigating Lisa Mariana as a suspect. After being questioned, Lisa walked out of the Criminal Investigation Division building, smiling. “Thank God it went smoothly. The gentlemen above are also very nice and thank God I can carry out my activities as usual. That’s all, thank you,” Lisa said after being questioned at the Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit.
