Aziz denied that his client was considered lying or spreading false news about Rizieq Shihab's condition. Because, Hanif saw the condition of his son-in-law in a healthy condition with the naked eye.

"In plain view, not medically. So what is understood by the police is that Hanif's habib is informing things that are not medically appropriate. Even though the fact is in the video he is in good health. This means that physically we can all see his physical condition," he said. .

Apart from the examination material, Aziz said that Hanif Alatas did not need to serve a period of detention. Investigators believe that Hanif Alatas is always cooperative and will not run away.

"Yes, Allhamdulliah. His status as a suspect, Allah, on the policies of the investigator and also the police, stated that Hanif habib was not detained. Yes, the reason is, he did not run away and then did not submit evidence, nor did he repeat his actions," continued Aziz.
