"We have asked for information from 10 witnesses with details, 7 witnesses, and 3 expert witnesses. The witness is the reporting witness," said Gatot

Erwin Laisuman
As for Erwin Laisuman, he is suspected of being involved in the Binomo case which has named Indra Kenz a suspect.
The name of this Youtuber also emerged from the results of the development of the case which was handled by the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes of the National Police-Criminal Investigation Department.
In fact, to explore his involvement, Erwin Laisuman has been scheduled to undergo an examination.
Head of Sub-Directorate II of the Dittipideksus Bareskrim Polri Grand Commissioner Chandra Sukma Kumara said Erwin Laisuman would be questioned this week. "Yes, we have called for next Tuesday," said Chandra.
The schedule for the examination next week, said Chandra, was because Erwin Laisuman was not present on the examination agenda today.
In that examination, Erwin Laisuman is still a witness. He will be asked to explain various things about Binomo. "That's right (examined as a witness, ed)," said Candra.
Although the name Erwin Laisuman has appeared in the Binomo case, it is likely that other names will be investigated. This is because, referring to the statement by the Director of Special Economic Crimes at the Bareskrim, Brigadier General Whisnu Hermawan, previously stated that there were already names being investigated.
"I also have developments for other suspected affiliators, but we are still investigating the witnesses," said Whisnu.
The appearance of the name of the affiliator in the Binomo case is based on the results of witness examinations. So, investigators will continue to develop it. "Yes, we may have 2 more, from witness statements," said Whisnu.
