Nikita Mirzani Faces 20 Years in Prison, Involved in Extortion and Money Laundering Case

Kapanlagi.com - The name Nikita Mirzani is back in the spotlight after she and her personal assistant, IM alias Mail, were officially named suspects in an extortion and intimidation case. Both are facing serious criminal threats, with a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

The Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Pol Ade Ary Syam Indradi, revealed that Nikita is charged under several articles from various laws, including the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE).

Nikita Mirzani is charged under Article 27B paragraph (2) and Article 45 paragraph (10) of the ITE Law, which carries a maximum penalty of 6 years in prison. Additionally, Nikita is also charged under Article 368 of the Criminal Code related to allegations of intimidation.

1. Threat of 9 Years Imprisonment

The article threatens a sentence of up to 9 years in prison. Not stopping there, he is also charged under Article 3, Article 4, and Article 5 of the Money Laundering Crime Law (TPPU).

"The criminal threat from these articles reaches a maximum of 20 years in prison," said Ade when met at the Metro Jaya Police Headquarters in South Jakarta, Thursday (20/2/2025).

2. Find 2 Pieces of Evidence

The designation of Nikita and IM as suspects was announced after investigators from the Cyber Directorate of the Metro Jaya Police found two sufficient pieces of evidence during the case examination. This step also elevates their status from witnesses to suspects.

"Indeed, sister NM and brother IM have been designated as suspects by the Cyber Investigator of the Metro Jaya Police based on sufficient evidence and the results of the case examination," explained Ade.

3. Nikmir Examination Postponed

Initially, Nikita and IM were scheduled to undergo questioning as suspects on Thursday, February 20, 2025. However, this examination must be postponed after their legal representatives filed a request for rescheduling due to work commitments that cannot be left behind.

"The investigators have received a letter of postponement for the examination of the suspect on behalf of brother IM and sister NM from the suspect's legal representatives on February 19, 2025," said Ade.

4. Request to Reschedule

The reason for this postponement, according to the legal representatives, is due to work that cannot be delegated. They requested that the examination be rescheduled for March 3, 2025, at 1:00 PM WIB.

This case began with a report from a skincare entrepreneur with the initials RGP submitted to the Metro Jaya Police on December 3, 2024. In the report, RGP accused Nikita of defaming her and her product through a live broadcast on TikTok.

5. RGP Felt Threatened

RGP also admitted to trying to contact Nikita through her assistant on November 13, 2024, with good intentions to establish a relationship. However, he received a response in the form of threats that made him feel pressured.

The victim felt threatened and claimed to have transferred Rp 2 billion to an account at the direction of the reported party. On November 15, the victim claimed to have been asked again to provide cash of Rp 2 billion.

Feeling aggrieved, RGP finally reported Nikita to the authorities. This case has now become one of the legal matters attracting public attention, with various serious charges being brought against Nikita Mirzani
