Interrogated About Money Request, Oky Pratama Claims Chat Was Not Extortion

Kapanlagi.com - The atmosphere in the courtroom of Nikita Mirzani heated up as the Public Prosecutor (JPU) grilled witness Doctor Oky Pratama with chat evidence indicating a money request. However, calmly, Doctor Oky provided an unexpected explanation that refuted all the allegations.

During the trial at the South Jakarta District Court on Thursday (31/7/2025), the JPU confirmed whether Doctor Oky had ever suggested Reza Gladys to give some money to Nikita Mirzani.

"No," Doctor Oky replied firmly.

Not satisfied, the prosecutor then read a chat evidence from Reza Gladys to Doctor Oky that said, "Can I ask for your estimate on how much so I have an idea?". This chat became one of the bases for the prosecutor's accusation of extortion.

In response to this, Doctor Oky Pratama provided clarification that changed the direction of the discussion. He claimed that the context of 'how much' in the chat was not at all about compensation money, but rather about the salary of a manager.

"Yes, it discusses the salary of the RnB product Manager, which I have already mentioned," explained Doctor Oky.

He continued that in the previous video call conversation, they indeed discussed many things related to business, including the recruitment of experts to improve product quality. "We also discussed employee salaries, talked about the salary of the RnB product manager so that our product is good and to always check the quality control of the product," he explained.

Doctor Oky also reinforced his testimony by outlining the chronology of communication. He emphasized that it was Reza Gladys's side that repeatedly proactively tried to contact him, not the other way around.

"On September 18, Reza Gladys contacted me again, 'are you busy? Or are you sleepy? I want to call, I miss you', at 00:07 but I didn't reply," revealed Doctor Oky while showing evidence.
