21 July 2010, Denpasar - Michael today received a police summons from the Poltabes police station in Denpasar on a criminal complaint by Made Jati. The complaint under Pasal 335 KUHP provides for a prison sentence of up to one year for anyone who does something or writes something unpleasant about another person. According to many observers, this section of the Indonesian Criminal Code is rarely used other than to silence "troublemakers" (See Attorney General Calls Pasal 335 'Garbage Law', Prita Cites ‘Right To Criticize’ as Defense Attacks and Case Like Prita; After Writing a Letter to the Editor, Khoe Seng Seng Is Charged with Crime)

Michael stated that certain members of the police at Poltabes are in apparent collusion with Made Jati in a "Bali Law Mafia" and that Made Jati and her supporters have for years made numerous false reports at Poltabes with the suspected purpose of frightening Michael. In Indonesian this is called "gertak sambal" or "grinding chilis", Michael explained, meaning making a big threat with little means to support it. "Poltabes is better off filing charges of Pasal 335 against me directly for publishing Bali police documents demonstrating a Law Mafia, rather than going through Made Jati," he said.

"If I were in Bali, of course I would be worried," he said. "Look what happened to Tama." (See Prominent figures lend support to antigraft activist Tama) "I suspect they are trying to find a reason to pick me up if I were stupid enough to go to Bali. But the police in Jakarta have cautioned me not to go to Bali alone. I'm not certain I am safe even in L.A. as this heats up, but I will report this group to the FBI and local police here."

1 July 2010, Los Angeles - Made Jati today failed to appear as ordered in connection with a warrant for arrest on 50 counts of Contempt of Court. Her attorney, Mr Ruben Salgado, claimed that a mix-up of documents in the court clerk's office had caused a delay in entering his motion to the court. The judge, visibly irritated but citing formal rules of procedure, ordered a continuance to 23 September, retained the active status of the outstanding Bench Warrant, and again ordered Made Jati to be present without fail on 23 September.

21 June 2010, Los Angeles - Made Jati today through her U.S. attorney Mr Ruben Salgado entered a motion to the Superior Court in Los Angeles in connection with her criminal Contempt of Court case, requesting that the arrest warrant and case be quashed. Without denying the essence of the criminal charges, Made Jati claims that she no longer wants custody of the children and that the court in California does not have jurisdiction over an Indonesian citizen in ordering child support.
