The Head of Law for the West Java Regional Police, Kombes Nurhadi Handayani, said that the determination of Pegi as a suspect had passed a series of case titles attended by a number of internal police parties.

"Sudah melalui prosedur, gelar perkara yang dihadiri Irwasda (Inspektur Pengawasan Daerah), Bidkum (kebalan), kemudian Propam semuanya sudah," tutur Nurhadi dilansir ANTARA, Selasa, 2 Juli.

Nurhadi said the determination of the suspect's status against Pegi Setiawan was based on sufficient evidence and the results of a comprehensive investigation.

He said that his party had prepared three pieces of evidence that were strong enough to make Pegi a suspect in the case.

"For the evidence, starting from witness statements, letters, experts, then later the instructions that will be the domain by the judge, we will prepare at least three pieces of evidence that are quite strong in our answers later," said Nurhadi.
