"Before, I didn't, now I often meet," he said.

In addition, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte's attorney, Gunawan Raka, said that his client had never known Tommy.

"Maybe this way, General Napoleon Bornaparte never knew the name Tommy Sumardi before this matter became chaotic. So, he did not know personally," he said.
