upreme Court justice Gayus Lumbuun onWednesday filed a police report against mentalist-cum-presenter Deddy Corbuzierfor running a slanderous report on his television show, Hitam Putih.
Speaking at the National Police headquarters in Jakarta, Gayus said that Hitam Putih, a variety show aired by Trans7, made the first report alleging him of accepting Rp 700 million (US$60,200) in bribes from singer Julia Perez in return for handing down a three month prison term to singer Dewi Perssik.
Earlier this month, Gayus and two other justices, Artidjo Alkostar and Salman Luthan, found Dewi guilty of fighting with Julia during a movie shoot.
Prior to that, Julia served a three month jail sentence over her involvement in the case.
'That [allegation] is entirely not true, because the cash was never received into my bank account,' Gayus said, after filing the report.
'At first, I had not determined which individuals might have been responsible for the defamation. But, after speaking to the police investigators, they pointed out Deddy Corbuzier,' he said.
Gayus handed over evidence to the police consisting of Hitam Putih footage and his financial reports.
'The show displayed a money transfer document of Rp 700 million to my bank account. But, according to banking regulations, each account can only transfer a maximum of Rp 100 million per day,' he said.
Gayus has also reported the defamation case to the Judicial Commission. (dic)
