They plan to hold a preliminary examination next week.

"The preliminary examination plan is early next week. (Later, red) it will be decided whether to continue the trial or not," said KPK Supervisory Board member Syamsuddin Haris when confirmed, quoted on Wednesday, December 6.

Syamsuddin explained that the preliminary examination would later be held, followed by only five supervisory boards. "We will assess whether there is sufficient evidence of alleged violations of the code of ethics," he said.

"If the majority of the adult think that there is sufficient evidence, then it is decided to proceed to the ethics trial. On the other hand, if there is not enough evidence, the case will be terminated," he continued.
