The investigative team will carry out the investigation steps. Starting from the examination of witnesses from the reporting party to later the reported parties.

However, it is unclear when investigators will start calling the parties involved. The reason is that the case is still in progress.

"Yes, in the current investigation from investigators, it is in process," said Rusdi.

Previously, Moeldoko officially reported Egi Primayogha and Miftah, researchers from Corruption Watch (ICW) to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police. The report relates to allegations of defamation regarding allegations of rent-seeking.

The decision to report the two ICW researchers was because his patience had run out. Because, Moeldoko has given a deadline for them to explain or clarify the allegations.

However, according to Moeldoko, ICW researchers have never done it until now. In fact, it does not show good faith.
