In response to those questions, he stated that his client firmly denied having any relationship with Tan Kian.
“Mr FA (Febrie Adtingyah) was very firm in stating that there were no receipts from Tan Kian. That was made very clear,” he said.
Furthermore, investigators asked a number of questions related to the handling of the PT ASABRI and Jiwasraya corruption cases.
