The National Police have released suspended Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) deputies Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M. Hamzah, citing it was in the public’s interest.
National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Nanan Soekarna told kompas.com his office had decided to release the two leaders after receiving letters from their lawyers.
“We have
not succumbed to pressure [to release them].
“We have done it due to public interests,” he said.
He added the move would not hinder an investigation into the leaders’ alleged abuse of power and extortion.
“We will continue with the legal process and not change the charges,” he said. (ewd)
