AGO (DOK. ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has not banned 7 potential suspects in the alleged corruption case of the Indonesian Armed Forces Insurance (ASABRI). This is because they have not been named as suspects.

"Not yet (banned)," said Director of Investigation at the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah at the Round Building, AGO, Wednesday, January 27.

Although the suspect has not yet been named, said Febrie, the potential suspects have already been investigated. But investigators are still looking for information and clues so that later they will be named as suspects in the case.

"It has not been named a suspect. That's why it was not opened there because it also concerns the interests of investigators, there are several things to consider," said Febrie.

Previously it was reported, Attorney General ST Burhanuddin explained that there were 7 people who would be named as suspects in the corruption case at PT Asabri which had caused state finances of up to Rp17 billion. The appearance of this suspect candidate was based on the results of a series of examinations.

"18 witnesses have been investigated and seven potential suspects have been carried out," said Burhanuddin in a work meeting broadcast on the YouTube account of the DPR RI, Tuesday, January 26.

However, Burhanuddin did not specify the identities of the 7 suspected suspects. However, the number of potential suspects can still be increased because investigations are still ongoing.

"(The number of suspects, red) can still grow again because it is still being investigated and we cannot yet convey the names of the suspects," he said.
