"The witness was present and an in-depth investigation was carried out through the knowledge of the witnesses, between the recommendations and approvals for the construction of the Alfamidi retail branch in Ambon City," Ali told reporters, Monday, August 29.
In addition to Suantopo, the KPK also examined the Property development Director of PT. Midi Utama Indonesia, Tbk, Lilik Setiabudi. He was also examined as a witness and asked to explain the same thing by investigators.

Following up on the Amri application, Richard then ordered the Head of PUPR for the Ambon City Government to immediately process and issue various permit applications, including a license for a place of business (SITU) and a trading business license (SIUP).
