"Everything you said was not revealed at the investigative hearing, there was no mention of clemency," said Ali.

"Earlier I said the object of this investigation was to submit a fatwa to the Supreme Court (MA)," he said.

Attorney Pinangki Sirna Malasari was named a suspect by the Attorney General's Office for allegedly receiving gratuities / bribes related to the fatwa so that Djoko Tjandra would not be executed in the Bank Bali cessie case at the Supreme Court.
