The 37 Scientific Evidence of Digital Evidence Tampering on CCTV Footage at Olivier Café: The Jessica Kumala Wongso Case (2016), Carried Out by Muhammad Nuh Al-Azhar and Christopher Hariman Rianto, Who were Under the Leadership of the General Crime Director of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Krishna Murti, and the Chief of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Tito Karnavian.
The manipulation of Café Olivier's CCTV footage through downscaling played a pivotal role in the legal proceedings of Jessica Wongso's case. Downscaling refers to the deliberate reduction of the video's resolution, from a higher resolution 1920x1080 pixels (1080P) to a lower one 960x576 pixels (960H). Throughout the trial, forensic experts, including those appointed by Wongso's defense team, revealed how this manipulation technique obscured crucial details and compromised the integrity of the evidence presented.
This deliberate alteration severely compromises the integrity of the video footage, as it diminishes the clarity and detail of the visual information captured by the camera. By reducing the resolution, crucial details that could have been vital for accurate interpretation and analysis are lost, potentially leading to misinterpretation by judges, legal experts, and other stakeholders involved in the case.
Furthermore, the act of reducing the resolution of the CCTV footage undermines the principles of digital forensics, which prioritize the preservation and accurate representation of digital evidence. Instead of presenting an objective and unaltered record of events, such tampering introduces biases and distortions that can influence the outcome of legal proceedings and compromise the pursuit of justice.
Six fraudulent prosecutors Ardito Muwardi, Shandy Handika, Sugih Carvallo, Hari Wibowo, Wahyu Oktaviandi, and Maylany Wuwung conspired with fellow fraudulent CCTV video manipulator Muhammad Nuh Al-Azhar.
