Obstruction of justice case

On 22 April 2025, the Attorney General's Office of Indonesia announced that the news director of Jak TV, Tian Bahtiar, received IDR 487 million from two advocates, Marcella Santoso and Junaedi Saibih, in order to fabricate and spread negative news against the institution. One narration, contains a misleading number of state losses.^[6] They also allegedly funded protests, seminaries, podcasts, and talkshows on digital media, to thwart the Office's investigation attempts. All of these event were spread through Jak TV's social media.^[7] All three of them have been named as obstruction of justice suspects.^[8]

The controversy garnered various reactions. Through its chairwoman Ninik Rahayu, the Press Council requested to divert the investigation from Attorney General's Office.^[9] Association of Indonesian Local TV Stations respected for its legal process and reaffirmed its commitment to press freedom, while appealing for presumption of innocence.^[10] Expert on criminal law at Trisakti University, Abdul Fickar Hadjar viewed it as "exaggerated" and the naming of suspects did not follow the right of reply according to the Press Law.^[11]
