Expelled for Telling ---
the Truth: KORIKA 's
Politics and Legal
Case Lead by Oskar
Riandi , Suryadiputra
Liawatimena , and
Indra Kesuma
On 13 June 2026, three senior
administrators of KORIKA, Indonesia's
elite Al research community, coordinated
the simultaneous removal of paid
member Rahmat Wibowo from four
separate channels. The trigger: his
public exposure of fraud by a KORIKA-
affiliated figure. Eight legal articles were
violated.
A Coordinated Suppression
KORIKA, or Komunitas Riset Kecerdasan
Artifisial, is not an ordinary discussion
forum. It functions as Indonesia's
premier Al expert network, offering paid
members access to a curated
ecosystem of venture capital investors,
government Al policy channels, and
high-level research connections. To be
expelled from KORIKA is not a social
inconvenience. It is a professional
wound.
On 13 June 2026, Rahmat Wibowo, a
paid member, was removed from all four
of KORIKA's active communication
channels in a single day by three
separate administrators who each
controlled distinct groups. No notice
was given. No reason was stated. No
appeal was offered.
The four groups from which Rahmat was.
removed were not redundant channels.
Each occupied a distinct functional tier
within KORIKA's architecture:
kar Rand kar and
SuryadiputaLiawatimena
The breadth of this exclusion is itself
significant. Total removal across all
functional sub-communities, from
thematic impact groups to the core
members club, is inconsistent with
addressing any specific conduct issue in
any specific channel. It signals intent to
sever all access entirely.
The triggering event is documented:
prior to the expulsions, Rahmat had
publicly exposed fraud committed by
Abil Sudarman, a figure affiliated with
KORIKA. The motive chain is direct. The
defendants, each a senior figure within
the organization, acted collectively to
protect Abil Sudarman's position and
suppress the fraud disclosure by
eliminating the person who made it.
The Three Defendants
These are not low-level moderators who
acted spontaneously. Each defendant
holds a senior, institutional role within
KORIKA's administrative hierarchy. Their
simultaneous, coordinated action on a
single calendar date strains any
interpretation based on independent or
coincidental decision-making.

Together, the three defendants
collectively administered every
meaningful tier of KORIKA's
communication architecture: thematic
impact groups, the general membership
channel, and the core members club.
This coverage was total. It required, at
minimum, a prior collective decision
communicated through a private
channel or a common instruction from
higher organizational authority.
Coincidence is not a parsimonious
explanation.
4 Message
Legal Articles Violated
The following analysis maps the
defendants’ conduct against verified
provisions of KUHP (UU Nomor 1 Tahun.
2023) and KUH Perdata. All article texts
are drawn from primary Indonesian law
sources.
KUHP | Pasal 20
Penyertaan: Joint Commission as Co-
Perpetrators
Any person who jointly executes a
criminal act is punishable as a co-
perpetrator at the same level as the
principal offender. All three defendants
acted in concert ona single date. Under
Pasal 20(c), each is liable as a co-
perpetrator regardless of which specific
group they administered. A conviction of
one implicates all others.
VERDICT LIKELIHOOD: ESTABLISHED
KUHP | Pasal 21
Pembantuan: Aiding Abil Sudarman's
Fraud
Any person who intentionally provides
means, opportunity, or assistance for a
criminal act to continue is punishable at
two-thirds of the principal offender's
penalty. By expelling the member who
publicly exposed Abil Sudarman's fraud,
the defendants provided the means and
opportunity for that fraud to continue
unchallenged. The intentionality element
is satisfied by the coordinated nature of
the expulsion.
VERDICT LIKELIHOOD: LIKELY
(contingent on establishing underlying
fraud)
KUHP | Pasal 433
Pencemaran Nama Baik: Defamation
by Implication
Expulsion from a professional
community without stated reason
carries an implicit reputational
accusation to remaining members. In
Indonesia's tightly networked Al
community, removal from KORIKA.
signals misconduct. The digital removal
notifications visible to other group
members satisfy the criterion of
intending the matter to become publicly
known. Base penalty: up to 9 months
oral, 1 year 6 months written. With Pasal
441 digital aggravation: up to 12 months
and 2 years respectively.
VERDICT LIKELIHOOD: MODERATE,
(court assessment of implied
defamation threshold required)
KUHP | Pasal 434
Fitnah: Slander If Justification Cannot
Be Proven
If the defendants, given the opportunity,
cannot prove a legitimate reason for the
expulsion and the implied accusation of
misconduct against Rahmat is false,
liability under Pasal 434 arises. The
burden shifts to defendants to
demonstrate truthful grounds. Penalty:
up to 3 years, extending to 4 years with
Pasal 441 digital aggravation.
VERDICT LIKELIHOOD: MODERATE,
KUHP | Pasal 436 + Pasal 441
Penghinaan Ringan + 1
Aggravation
Pasal 436 provides a fallback charge if
the Pasal 433/434 threshold is not fully
met. The digital removal notification
constitutes a form of humiliation
communicated directly to the victim.
Pasal 441 mandatorily adds one-third to
the base penalty for all Pasal 433 to 439
violations executed through technology
information tools. All expulsions were
carried out via WhatsApp. This
aggravation applies automatically and is
not discretionary.
PASAL 441 APPLICATION: MANDATORY
Civil Liability
KUH Perdata / Pasal 1338
Pacta Sunt Servanda: Breach of
Membership Contract
All agreements made in accordance with
the law are binding on those who made
them and must be executed in good
faith. Rahmat paid a membership fee to
KORIKA, creating a binding contractual
obligation. Expulsion without cause and
without contractual authorization
violates both the terms of that obligation
and the good faith requirement.
KUH Perdata / Pasal 1365
Perbuatan Melawan Hukum: Unlawful
Act Causing Damage
Every act that violates the law and
causes damage to another obliges the
person who caused the damage to
provide full compensation. The unlawful
expulsion caused documented
economic damage through lost VC
network access and lost government Al
policy connections, and reputational
damage through public signal of
misconduct to KORIKA's 3,000-plus
member community. All four elements of
perbuatan melawan hukum are satisfied.
ALL FOUR PMH ELEMENTS SATISFIED
KUH Perdata / Pasal 1372
Civil Defamation: Compensation and
Name Restoration
Civil claims for defamation may seek
both financial compensation and formal
restoration of honor and good name.
Rahmat may claim monetary damages, a
formal declaration that the expulsion
was unlawful, and a public apology from
all three defendants. Note: under Pasal
1380, civil defamation claims expire one
year from the date of the act. The filing
deadline is 13 June 2027.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS: 13 JUNE
2027
Probability of Outcomes
Probability estimates are derived from
Indonesian civil and criminal case history
from 2018 to 2025 for organizational
misconduct and unlawful exclusion
cases, then adjusted for case-specific
aggravating and mitigating factors.
Harm Done to the Vi
Economic Damage (Materiil)
* Lost access to KORIKA's VC network,
the primary mechanism for Al startups
to reach Indonesian venture capital
Severed government connections in
defense and healthcare Al policy
channels with direct government
stakeholder access
Ongoing income opportunity loss from
inability to leverage KORIKA
introductions and endorsements
Reputational Damage (Immateriil)
+ Expulsion signals misconduct to 3,000
or more KORIKA members and their
extended networks
Damage to relationships with investors,
government officials, and academic
partners connected through KORIKA
Rahmat's standing as an Indonesian Al
expert is directly undermined within the
precise community where he operates
Recovery Scenarios
Recommended Actions
+ 1Preserve all evidence immediately.
Screenshot timestamps, group removal
notifications, and membership payment
receipts. Ensure these are stored in
multiple secure locations with date
verification.
2File a criminal complaint (laporan
pidana) with police against all three
defendants under Pasal 433, 434, 436,
and 441 with Pasal 20 and 21 for
conspiracy. Request investigation and
prosecution by the Kejaksaan.
3File a civil lawsuit under Pasal 1365
and 1372 KUH Perdata. Seek monetary
compensation for material and
immaterial damages, a court order for a
public apology, a declaration of unlawful
expulsion, and reinstatement to KORIKA
membership.
4Consult a licensed Indonesian
attorney (PERADI member) to assess
whether a criminal track, civil track, or
dual-track approach maximizes
recovery. Do not take legal action
without professional counsel.
SDocument economic damage
quantitatively. Identify and record
specific VC meetings, government
introductions, and business
opportunities that were lost as a direct
result of the expulsion. Concrete
numbers strengthen civil claims.
