Polda Metro to Question Aisar Khaled, Coordinates with Malaysian Embassy

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Polda Metro Jaya will coordinate with the Indonesian National Police International Relations Division to question Malaysian influencer Aisar Khaled, who has been reported on suspicion of fraud.

The Head of Public Relations for Polda Metro Jaya, Police Commissioner Budi Hermanto, said they will also coordinate with the Malaysian Embassy.

“Yes, certainly when the suspect or person reported is a foreign national, the investigators will coordinate with International Relations, and with the embassy of the relevant country,” Budi said when met at the Polda Metro Jaya headquarters on Friday (18/9/2026).

Currently, the police are still investigating the report.

This includes reviewing documents submitted as evidence regarding the losses suffered by the agency responsible for managing Aisar’s career in Indonesia.

Before summoning Aisar, investigators will first seek testimony from the reporting party to further examine the allegations of fraud and embezzlement of funds.

“This is still under investigation because the police report is being handled gradually by first examining the principal complainant,” Budi clarified.

Based on witness testimony and evidence, investigators will hold a case conference to decide whether to move the case to the indictment stage.

“Or they can name someone as a suspect in this criminal case after meeting several legal elements. So, once a suspect is named, the investigator will certainly have coordinated with the embassy beforehand,” Budi explained.

Aisar was reported to Polda Metro Jaya on Monday (14/9/2026) by an agency represented by its lawyer.

The victim’s legal counsel, Michael Sugijanto, said the fraud began with a cooperation agreement.

“Yes, initially there was cooperation, but he did not fulfill the cooperation agreement,” Michael said in a phone interview with Kompas.com on Tuesday (15/9/2026).

The cooperation agreement was made by both parties in February 2026.

At that time, Aisar was involved in a similar case with another party.

The agency that felt responsible and played an important role in Aisar’s career then stepped forward.
