Our verdict
The video is real but old. It shows Jokowi arriving at the Solo police station on 23 July 2025, when Polda Metro Jaya investigators questioned him for about three hours in the case over accusations that his diploma is fake. On 5 November 2026 he was in Jakarta as a witness at the East Jakarta District Court, and no report shows him questioned in Solo in November 2026.
