Including Eko Darmanto, who is known to have been convicted in a case of gratification and money laundering (TPPU).

"Brother Eko Darmanto or the Head of Yogyakarta Customs and Excise has been clarified twice," he said.

Currently, continued Ade, investigation efforts are still being carried out in order to determine whether there is a criminal element in the report that makes Alexander Marwata a reported person.

"We make sure that the handling of the a quo case currently being carried out by the investigation team of the Tipidkor Sub-Directorate of the Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya will run professionally, transparently and accountably," said Ade.
