"Wish me luck. Asabri's case is the largest corruption in Indonesia with IDR 23.7 trillion, God willing, it will be resolved. I'm not messing around here at all costs I have to finish.

But we will continue to execute, God willing, "said Attorney General Burhanuddin in the Deddy Corbuzier Podcast quoted from Deddy Corbuzier's Youtube video, Thursday, February 18.
