Apart from questioning the supervisors, only identified by their initials as AR, AS, and HS, the police investigators also summoned JS, the National Police Criminal Investigation Department's (Bareskrim's) General Crimes Director Brigadier General Ferdy Sambo stated.
The police investigators identified HS as an aide of Mai, a witness. Mai was interrogated on November 3 for allegedly borrowing the name of cleaning service provider PT APM, he revealed.
Meanwhile, JS was a consultant for the cleaning service supervisors. He was summoned as a witness, he added.
Sambo noted that on October 27, the police investigators had summoned eight suspects: T, H, S, K, IS, UAN, R, and NH.
Five of the eight suspects are identified as construction workers, while three others are a project supervisor, president director of PT ARM, and an AGO official responsible for a construction project within the AGO complex area.
The police investigators had earlier interrogated 64 witnesses in connection with the AGO blaze incident and declared the preliminary result of their probe that concluded that the five construction workers' cigarette butts were causal to the blaze.
The police charged the suspects under Articles 55 and 56 of the Indonesian Criminal Code. If found guilty, they will be subject to a five-year prison term.
