"The suspect's rebuttal is a common thing and is generally conveyed. That is the right of the person concerned," said Ali in his written statement, Thursday, April 28.
Ali said the investigation into the alleged bribery that ensnared Ade already had strong evidence. Therefore, the KPK will continue to investigate these allegations.
