JAKARTA (Indonesia Today) – Tina Talisa, a famous Television Presenter with Indosiar, has filed a report to the Press Council against several medias. She denies money laundering accusation as reported by the media.
Tina stated that four medias, namely Kompas, Berita Kota, Warta Kota, and Rakyat Merdeka, have published news, which, according to her, does not meet journalistic ethics code. Arguing the medias did not ask any confirmation from her, Tina demands them an apology.
The media, among others, reported that there is information of a TV Presenter with initial TT, who has received a transfer of Rp120 Million from Member of Budget Body Leader with initial MA. The transfer was allegedly a form of money laundering.
To the press council, Tina brought several evidences supporting her argument, such as books of bank account at Bank Mega, Bank Central Asia, Bank Mandiri, and HSBC Amanah. She claimed that no funds were transferred by the Budget Body Leader MA.
The Press Council has decided to hold a mediation between Tina and the medias to settle the issue.
