Nikita Mirzani Teases BPOM and Requests Dissolution: Skincare Mafia Must Be Investigated!

Kapanlagi.com - Nikita Mirzani once again made a controversial statement in the continuation of the trial regarding the alleged extortion and money laundering case that implicated her along with her assistant, Ismail Marzuki. Nikita delivered her defense note emotionally, counterattacking those she deemed involved in the alleged criminalization against her.

In this case, Nikita and Ismail were named suspects for allegedly receiving Rp4 billion from Reza Gladys, after previously being accused of demanding Rp5 billion to remove negative reviews about Reza's skincare products from social media. However, Nikita insists that this case is part of an effort to silence her criticism of illegal skincare sales practices.

"Your honorable judges, I am someone who voices education about the dangers of skincare products sold freely on e-commerce using injection methods without supervision from specialist doctors, which should be done in health clinics with proper care," said Nikita in the South Jakarta District Court on Tuesday (1/7/2025).

This mother of three emphasizes that her main motivation from the beginning has been to save the community from danger. According to Nikita, her struggle has raised public awareness about the importance of understanding the ingredients and usage of beauty products available in the market.

"Currently, I have saved many women's faces, the faces of Indonesian women regarding the importance of education on the violations of those dangerous skincare products," she continued.

2. Nikita Claims She is the Aggrieved Party

She describes herself as the aggrieved party, not the perpetrator. Ironically, she feels that she has been sacrificed by a legal system that she believes protects irresponsible skincare producers.

"However, I am actually imprisoned by the skincare mafia or the real skincare criminals, namely Reza Gladys Prettyani Sari and Dr. Attaubah Mufid, who are actually being protected," she said emotionally.

3. Questioning the Performance of BPOM and BPKN

Nikita accused of systematic protection for those she referred to as skincare mafia. The peak of this was when she openly highlighted the performance of the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) and the National Consumer Protection Agency (BPKN). She questioned where these two institutions were during this issue.

4. Accusing BPOM of Being Complicit in Protecting Skincare Mafia

"So, where is BPOM? The National Consumer Protection Agency, come on, take action to protect the public and consumers instead of just remaining silent or perhaps being complicit in protecting the mafia of dangerous skincare products," Nikita stated loudly. She questioned the presence of an agency that is supposed to ensure consumer safety.

5. Nikita Says BPOM Is Ineffective

Furthermore, Nikita called for the dissolution of BPOM and BPKN because she deems them ineffective.

"If that's the case, I ask President Prabowo Subianto as the head of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia to dissolve BPOM and the national consumer protection agency from our country because they are just silent, unable to do anything," she exclaimed. She even mentioned that the budget for both agencies would be better redirected to assist the poor.

6. Nikita Is Furious

According to Nikita, these two agencies have actually given the impression of supporting the existence of skincare mafias that endanger the public.

"Rather than funding BPOM and the National Consumer Protection Agency, which are unclear... it would be better to use that money to help Indonesians who still need assistance," she added with great anger.
