MANOHARA YET TO REPORT TO RI POLICE
Jakarta, June 1 (ANTARA) - Indonesian police have so far not received any formal complaint from Indonesian model Manohara Odelia Pinot about the alleged physical abuse she suffered in Malaysia, a spokesman said.
"We have so far not received any formal report on the case. Moreover, it happened in Malaysia," the National Police Headquarters' chief information officer, Insp Gen Abubakar Nataprawira, said here on Monday.
Manohara returned to Indonesia on May 31, 2009, with the assistance of the Indonesian and US embassies in Singapore as well as the Singapore police.
Meanwhile, Tengku Faizasyah, a spokesman of the foreign affairs ministry, said the government was ready to facilitate diplomatically if Manohara Pinot filed a complain officially.
"If Manohara wants to press charges in legal terms, we are ready to help," he said.
However, Faizasyah said Manohara had so far not contacted the foreign ministry, so the ministry had no idea what issue needed to be given priority in dealing with the case.
Upon her return in Jakarta last Sunday (May 31), Indonesia's teenage model Manohara Odelia Pinot told the press a horrific story of sexual abuse and harassment, confinement and torture at the hands of her Malaysian prince husband.
Manohara was only 16 at the time of her wedding and her American father, Reiner Pinot Noack, was said to have disapproved of the marriage. The seemingly blissful life of a Malaysian princess soon became a living hell, Manohara said, as she was constantly guarded and spent most of her time in her bedroom in the palace.
She said she was in Singapore as Fakhry's father had suffered a heart attack and needed treatment. While staying at the Royal Plaza Hotel, Manohara secretly called the Singapore police on Saturday night requesting help.
Police responded and confronted the royal family, telling them they couldn't prevent Manohara from leaving, according to Teuku Faizasyah earlier. He said police then called the US and Indonesian embassies for assistance.
Manohara confirmed that the police had helped her escape.
The Foreign Ministry said the American embassy was involved in the process of freeing Manohara. "The ministry coordinated with the United States embassy because Manohara's biological father is a US national which makes her a US national as well," the Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah told The Jakarta Post.***
