Farouk Arnaz – House of Representatives deputy speaker Anis Matta can breathe a sigh of relief after the National Police on Friday declared that the sex tape posted on Twitter last month did not star the top politician.

"We are convinced that it was not [Anis] who was featured in the video," Chief Comr. Sulistiyono, head of the National Police's Cyber Crime's unit told the Jakarta Globe.

"We have compared the actor on the video with Anis' picture using digital forensic techniques and it turns out that the two pictures do not match."

Sulistyono added: "Even the size and the face of the actor on the video is different. It bore resemblance to him, but it is not him." The National Police was investigating a 45-second sex tape circulated in Twitter account by user "Fahri_Israel", which alleged that the male actor was Anis.

Anis, who is also the secretary general of the Prosperous Justice Party, had vehemently denied the allegation.
