According to Senior Superintendent Arief Adiharsa, Deputy Director of Anti-Corruption at the Indonesian National Police Criminal Investigation Department, the decision to forgo detention was based on its current non-necessity, antaranews.com reported. "A detention is not deemed necessary at this time," Arief said. Firli underwent questioning for the first time since being declared a suspect on November 22. The inquiry, which began at 9 am, concluded at 7.29 pm. Post-interrogation, the combined investigative team will assess the results of the inquiry into Firli Bahuri's involvement. The examination involved 40 questions related to Firli's rights as a suspect, details of meetings, and acceptance of gifts or promises. Investigators also probed digital communication, foreign exchange transactions, his role as KPK Chairman, including obligations and restrictions, and details about his wealth declaration, assets, and possessions. Firli's legal counsel, Ian Iskandar, said that the detention was not discussed during his client's interrogation. According to Ian, the decision on detention was subjective and dependent on factors such as evidence preservation, the likelihood of reoffending, or attempting to flee, factors not applicable to his client.
