"Developments will be delivered," he continued.

In investigating the allegation, investigators conducted searches in a number of places. One of them, at Andhi's father-in-law's house and a shophouse in Batam.

"We did the search because we suspected that the assets from AP (Andhi Pramono) were stored in Batam, if I'm not mistaken, it would be. His in-laws live there," he told reporters, Wednesday, June 7 night.
