Polri rejects retest of Jokowi diploma after forensics match

Polri said the diploma of former Indonesian president Joko Widodo does not need to be retested because forensic checks have already been carried out by the Polri Forensic Laboratory Center. The findings were recorded in a pro justitia report by investigators at Polda Metro Jaya and became part of the case file that has been handed over to the public prosecutor. A request for a retest was previously filed by the legal team of Roy Suryo at the East Jakarta District Court. In May 2025, Bareskrim Polri and Puslabfor examined Jokowi's original diploma against three classmates' diplomas from the Faculty of Forestry at Gadjah Mada University. The review covered paper, security features, printing technique, handwriting ink, stamps, and the signatures of the dean and rector. The document was found to be identical to the comparison diplomas.
