Instagram celebrity Isa Zega expressed his annoyance at the Public Prosecutor (JPU) who charged him with extortion. While venting his frustration, he challenged to perform mubahalah or the pocong oath.
"I invite to take the pocong oath, because perhaps I no longer trust the Public Prosecutor. This pocong oath is merely a tradition, and mubahalah is mentioned in the holy book Al-Qur'an. If he is willing and I am willing, then right this moment. We have already sent the letter, but it has not been responded to. You can interpret that yourselves," said Isa Zega at the Malang District Court.
The person named Adrena Isa Zega stated that during the trial process regarding the charges against him related to defamation, he was accused of tarnishing the reputation of the complainant who was pregnant at the time through curse-laden content. The JPU imposed extortion charges with a threat of five years in prison. Therefore, Isa Zega challenged to perform the pocong oath.
"But I am being charged with extortion, even though the evidence in the case file and the facts in court show there is no such thing as extortion, no transfer of money, and no threats. This is even acknowledged by witness Shandy Purnamasari," said Isa Zega.
"So how could I have extorted anyone? In my 42 years of living on this earth, since I migrated 25 years ago, I have never extorted anyone," he added.
