Caprice diperintah bayar Ebit Lew RM220,000 kerana fitnah
Mahkamah turut memerintahkan pempengaruh media sosial itu memohon maaf kepada Ebit dalam tempoh 48 jam berhubung tujuh kenyataan yang dibuat pada 2023.
In addition to being known as Caprice, Ariz Ramli has been ordered by the Shah Alam Sessions court to pay RM220,000 in damages to witness Ebit Irawan Ibrahim Lew for his malicious comments. Judge Zuhrina Nor ruled that Ariz, 40, had defamed the independent witness during seven statements made in 2023 along with an Indonesian social media influencer known as Mondy Tattoo.
The court also ordered Ariz to apologize and withdraw the statements within 48 hours, according to Sinar Harian. In September 2023, Ariz posted a video clip from a podcast episode featuring Mondy. Ebit accused Ariz of seven statements in the clip that implied he had sexually assaulted an Indonesian woman and an irresponsible party, using religion to tarnish his reputation.
According to Ebit, Ariz acted with malicious intent when he published the video without first verifying the facts, causing him to become a target of negative comments on social media. Ebit was represented by attorney Akberdin Abdul Kader, while Ariz was represented by Rezan Ezra Mosinal.
