"There are already (prospective suspects, ed)," said Director of Special Economic Crimes at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency Brigadier General Whisnu Hermawan to reporters, Friday, March 25.

But Brigadier General Whisnu did not elaborate on this matter. The reason is that investigators are still mapping out his whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Head of Sub-Directorate II of the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Kombes Chandra Sukma Kumara, said that the potential suspects were divided into two parts, namely, active and passive. However, it remains to the recipient of the flow of funds.

Active recipients have the meaning of participating in hiding and distributing money. While passive recipients only receive continuously from the suspect.
