Earlier, Jakarta Police’s Special Crime Unit director Adi Deriyan said that he had coordinated with the anti-graft commission in relation to the summonses.
In addition to the three investigators, the Jakarta Police had questioned Aris Budiman, who filed the police report, and a number of former investigators. The case has been escalated to an investigation stage, but Adi said that no suspect has been named yet.
