Boyamin hopes that Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin can investigate this case more deeply. So, it is known where the origin of the money flow that Pinangki received.

“Because it is impossible for the Prosecutor P to only accept without giving,” he said.

“And in cases of corruption, gratification, or bribery or acceptance of promises, it must be done by at least two people, two parties,” added Boyamin.

Investigation, he continued, needs to be carried out to determine the parties suspected of being involved as suspects.
