In addition, the alleged extortion is also said to be related to the motive for the tailings. However, Zulpan reiterated that the allegation is still being investigated.

From the results of the examination of M. Aruan and two other people, they did not state that the prosecution was related to extortion. They call the background of the aftermath purely investigative.

"They are the reason for the investigation. They did not say that there was no such confession of extortion," said Zulpan.
