Indonesian film director Hanung Bramantyo confirmed on Saturday, August 22, 2026, in Kemang, South Jakarta, that the alleged assault case involving his employee Faisal and witnessed by his child Kala Madali Bramantyo has undergone official mediation at a military court overseen by a military judge. The case stems from a September 22, 2025, incident where military member N allegedly struck Faisal during an incident in a street while Faisal was driving Kala to school.
Official Military Court Mediation Process
The legal proceedings reached a formal mediation phase supervised directly by a military judge. Hanung stated that the official court mediation ensures the matter is handled through established legal channels rather than informal apologies. Hanung noted that the resolution prevents ongoing harm to the involved parties. Terdakwa N previously faced processing and detention at Pomdam Jaya after being named a suspect following the initial street altercation.
Did you know? The case progressed to the Pengadilan Militer Utama on April 7, 2026, where Kala Madali Bramantyo testified as a key witness during closed proceedings adapted for minors.
Family Stance and Legal Accountability
While Hanung’s family has opened the door to forgiveness, the final resolution of the case remains under the authority of the military tribunal. Hanung emphasized that legal pardon does not automatically bypass proper judicial procedures. Representatives of the accused previously contacted the director to offer apologies, yet all parties maintained that the formal military justice system must complete its course without bypassing legal steps for an informal settlement.
Broader Institutional Lessons and Public Response
The incident generated significant public attention due to the involvement of a state apparatus member as a terduga pelaku. Hanung reflected on the event as an essential learning experience regarding emotional restraint for the accused, himself as a parent, and his daughter Kala. Despite the psychological impact on his child, Hanung expressed continued confidence in the military institution’s role in maintaining security and comfort for the public.
