"(The reason) it takes time for FB or the chairman of the KPK RI to explore the examination material that will be carried out by Polda Metro Jaya investigators," said Director of General Criminal Investigation of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak to reporters, Friday, October 20.

The second reason, Firli has an official agenda that cannot be abandoned today. Therefore, the KPK chairman through the Legal Bureau's functional staff asked for a reschedule.

"The FB brothers as chairman of the KPK RI coincided with official activities that had been scheduled previously," he said.

Investigators from the Corruption Sub-Directorate of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Police have agreed to reschedule next week. However, regarding the day has not been determined.

"The schedule is next week, and today we will send a recall," said Ade.
