“We are currently questioning them,” National Police detectives chief Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said. All the suspects are passport middlemen, Ito said.

Ito added that detectives were currently investigating the possibility of immigration officers' involvement in the case. Police recently found that Gayus’ passport was originally intended for a 5-year-old girl named Margareta.
