"A professional and accountable examination must be carried out," Sugeng stated.

The IPW chairman also pointed out that Kombes F's status as a police officer should not lead to preferential treatment. The case must be handled transparently and based on available evidence. He reiterated the importance of the presumption of innocence throughout the legal proceedings, stating that the alleged fraud must first be proven through an investigation according to legal provisions. If sufficient evidence, at least two pieces of evidence, is found, investigators should proceed to the next stage of the investigation.
