"I also ask the KPK to stop self-administering by spreading the issue that I have a private jet, even though in fact I don't have a private jet," said Lukas.

The defendant in the alleged bribery and gratuity case also asked the KPK to mention the whereabouts of a private jet which was said to belong to him.

If it is proven, Lukas invites the KPK to confiscate it. He will not fight back at all.

"If the KPK states that I have a private jet, please show me where my private jet is parked and if there is, I invite the KPK to take it. I will not prohibit let alone fight," he said.
