Rahmat Wibowo accused three KORIKA administrators—Oskar Riandi, Suryadiputra Liawatimena, and Indra Kesuma—of unlawfully expelling him to suppress his exposure of Abil Sudarman's fraud, framing their coordinated action as violating eight criminal and civil legal articles warranting prosecution.

Expelled for Telling the Truth: KORIKA 's Politics and Legal Case Lead by Oskar Riandi , Suryadiputra Liawatimena , and Indra Kesuma RahmatWibowo - June1,2026 Expelled for Telling the 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-affliated figure. Eight legal articles were violated ACoordinated Suppression KORIKA, or Komunitas Riset Kecerdasan Artiftsial, is not an ordinary discussion forum. It functions as Indonesia's premier Al expert network, offering paid members access to acurated ecosystem of venture capital investors, government Alpolicy channels, and high-level research connections. To be expelled from KORIKAis nota social inconvenience. Itis a professional wound On 13 June 2026, Rahmat Wibowo, a paid member, was removed from all four of KORIKA's active communication channels ina 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 Cskar and (sar lana Suryadiputra Liawatimena The breadth of this exclusionis 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. severall 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 chainis direct. The defendants, eacha 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 ona single calendar date strains any interpretation based on independent or coincidental decision-making. rma T.

This coverage was total. It required, at minimum, a prior collective decision communicated through a private channel ora common instruction from higher organizational authority. Coincidence is nota parsimonious explanation. Legal Articles Violated The following analysis maps the defendants’ conduct against verified provisions of KUHP (UU Nomor 1 Tahun 2023) and KUH Perdata. Allarticle texts are drawn from primary Indonesian law sources. KUHP / Pasal 20 Penyertaan: Joint Commission as Co- Perpetrators Any person who jointly executes a criminal actis 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), eachis liable as aco- 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 fora 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 froma professional community without stated reason carries animplicit 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 to9 months oral, lyear6 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 Rahmatis 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 + Digital Aggravation Pasal 436 provides a fallback charge if the Pasal 433/434 thresholds 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 forall Pasal 433 to 439 violations executed through technology information tools, Alll expulsions were carried out via WhatsApp. This aggravation applies automatically andis not discretionary PASAL 44] APPLICATION: MANDATORY Civil Liability KUH Perdata / Pasal 1338 Pacta Sunt Servanda: Breach of Membership Contract All agreements made in accordance with the laware 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 andllost 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 satished. 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 honorand 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.
