JAKARTA - Bareskrim Polri claims to have encountered no problems in handling the fire in the main building of the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung). After handling the case for more than one month, there are no suspects in this case.

Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono, said the length of the disclosure process was not due to obstacles, but because there were so many witnesses being questioned.

"There is no, because it is a long process. There are so many examinations that have to be evaluated," Awi told reporters, Monday, October 19.

In the legal handling process, the National Police examined hundreds of witnesses and experts. The AGO building fire occurred on August 22nd.

Awi explained that investigators would first hold a case or expose it with the investigating prosecutor. Only after that the case will be conducted by investigators related to the determination of the suspect.

"In the near future, there will be an exposure in front of the research prosecutor and of course after that we will conduct a case title to determine the suspect, hopefully this week it will be completed," he said.

Previously, the Director of the General Crime Directorate (Dittipidum) of the National Police Brigadier General Ferdy Sambo said that in the near future he would determine the suspect in the fire case of the Attorney General's Office (AGO) building. Determination of the suspect will be decided through the results of the case title.

"Maybe in the near future we will appoint a suspect," Ferdy told reporters, Monday, October 12.

However, Ferdy has not explained in detail the timing of the case to determine the suspect. Polri continues to gather information and instructions from the examination of witnesses and experts.

"We will definitely start from the expert later, because he knows what causes open flames," he said.
