"All confiscated evidence will certainly be investigated and verified," said Harli to VOI, Thursday, October 24.

However, Harli did not straightforwardly state whether the information stating on the transaction records belonging to the suspect Lisa Rahmat stated that the flow of money to the judge was at the cassation level.
