TOKYO – TV personality and former Indonesian first lady Dewi Sukarno was referred to prosecutors on Jan 23 for allegedly assaulting and injuring her ex-manager, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said.
Known as Madame Dewi in Japan, she is suspected of assaulting a woman in her 30s who was her manager at the time, according to a police source.
The incident took place at a veterinary hospital in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, on Oct 28, 2025.
The 85-year-old allegedly beat and kicked the woman, causing minor injuries including bruises on her chest that took about two weeks to heal.
She visited the vet after receiving a call that her dog’s condition had suddenly worsened. She then began shouting and acting violently, assaulting a woman who tried to stop her, according to the source.
After the incident, the woman left the agency and filed a complaint with the police in November. THE JAPAN NEWS/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
