TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has connected the nonactive Jak TV news director Tian Bahtiar to a monitoring device, following his status as a city detainee last Thursday, due to his poor health.
The AGO Legal Information Center Head Harli Siregar explained on Monday, April 28, that the electronic device was imposed on Tian to monitor his movement.
The AGO also requires Tian to report once a week on Mondays. Tian’s designation as a city detainee was conducted upon his family’s guarantee. “His wife,” Harli said.
According to Harli, Tian has a history of heart disease and has had eight stents installed, in addition to high cholesterol levels and respiratory problems.
Harli stated that Tian has been under observation since last Wednesday. As a result, Tian was required to take blood-thinner medication. “Due to his health issues, the investigators, after consulting with the medical team, have determined that it is highly necessary to change his detention status,” he said.
Investigators from the Attorney General's Office have named Tian, along with lawyers Marcella Santoso and Junaeidi Saebih, as suspects for allegedly conspiring to impede the investigation into the PT Timah corruption case and sugar imports.
During the inquiry, the Attorney General's High Profile Case Rescuer reportedly discovered evidence of Marcella requesting Junaeidi to fabricate a negative narrative concerning the Attorney General's Office. They then allegedly enlisted Tian to disseminate this narrative.
A formal request to modify Tian's detention to house arrest was previously submitted by the Press Council to the Attorney General's Office. "To facilitate the Press Council's examination," stated Ninik Rahayu, Chairperson of the Press Council, in a written statement on Friday, April 25, 2025.
Ninik elaborated that the Press Council will scrutinize the content of the news produced and distributed by Tian Bahtiar. This undertaking aims to ascertain whether the content adheres to established journalistic standards.
