He emphasised that the dozens of recordings are now being deeply investigated by the investigative team.

“However, we are also seeking sources of information, other evidence, other physical evidence, and then we will compile everything to truly uncover this case or at least bring it to light,” he added.

Sigit further stated that the investigation into this case is a direct order from the President to handle it thoroughly.
