Septia Ryanthie, Hussein Abri Dongoran, Solo – Former President Joko Widodo or Jokowi responded to a report on docking to the Police Criminal Investigation Unit. The report was filed by Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) and the Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD) because the personal information of ICW researcher Diky Anandya was made public after criticizing Jokowi for being nominated as the world's most corrupt figure by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).

"I am in Solo and going to Jakarta if there is a wedding. Yes, don't associate everything with me. What is the connection," said Jokowi when met by reporters at his residence in Sumber Village, Banjarsari District, Solo, Central Java, Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

Jokowi added that there are violators who must be processed legally. "Yes, the most important thing is that if there are violators, they should be prosecuted. That's all I think," he said. The former Mayor of Solo said he responded normally when he was always associated with political affairs.

Including when the name of Jokowi's wife, Iriana, is often associated with political affairs. "(Mrs. Iriana's response?) Yes, I know, it's normal. It's normal," he said. A report from the November 2023 edition of Tempo Magazine revealed Iriana's role in politics. Namely, she supports her son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, as a vice presidential candidate. Iriana is also actively mobilizing support for Gibran.

Jokowi asked that issues that have nothing to do with him no longer be linked. Moreover, he is not currently serving as president, and there is already a new government in the hands of President Prabowo Subianto. "This is a new government led by President Prabowo Subianto. Don't do things that have nothing to do. Then, it is associated with me. But when I read (the news), it's funny. I also smile to myself when I read it," he said.

ICW and TAUD's report to the National Police Criminal Research Agency (Bareskrim Polri) regarding the doxing case targeting one of Diky Anandya's researchers was received by Bareskrim Polri on Monday afternoon, January 13, 2025. Based on the letter shown by ICW and TAUD, this case has been received by Bareskrim Polri through Police Report Number: LP/B/17/I/2025/BARESKRIM.

ICW Public Campaign Division Coordinator Tibiko Zabar said the police had received a report regarding this doxing case. Diky Anandya is an ICW researcher. "Our report has been received by SPKT Bareskrim Polri and further investigation will be carried out by investigators," Tibiko said at the Police Headquarters, Monday, January 13, 2025.
