The Head of Public Relations of the Central Kalimantan Police, Kombes Pol. Erlan Munaji, said that this corruption case involved three suspects. Two of them are the Head of the East Kotawaringin Trade and Industry Small and Medium Enterprises Cooperative (Diskoperindaag) with the initials ZL and FZ.

"Meanwhile, another person who is still a DPO with the initials LM," said Erlan in Palangka Raya, Monday, August 19, was confiscated by Antara.
