Previously, the Investigator of the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of the Jakarta Metro Police arrested Richard Lee on Wednesday (11/8) at his home, located in Palembang, South Sumatra. The arrest was not due to the aftermath of the defamation report filed by Kartika Putri.
The detention of Richard Lee was allegedly due to violations of the ITE Law, illegal access, and alleged tampering with evidence. Investigators also found evidence of illegal access on his personal Instagram and Twitter accounts.
