Asked about the sealing of PT KRI several months ago by KLHK officers, he admitted that he had not received this information from his client, because his party was currently still focusing on the assault case.
"So far, there has been no confirmation to me, and I am focusing on the case which is currently still under investigation and inquiry, we are focusing on the criminal act of assault," he said.
He emphasized that law enforcement must be carried out properly.
Don't let what is wrong be justified and what is right be blamed.

Previously, the Head of the Complaints Division of the Blora Environmental Services Agency (DLH), Muniri, admitted that he had received a complaint.
And, the letter has been followed up to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
Several months ago, his party was involved by KLHK officers to carry out sealing at PT KRI.
However, it is suspected that it is still operating and causing environmental impacts in the form of smelly smoke inhaled by residents.
Finally, the unwanted tragedy happened.
Jurangjero resident Raman said that PT KRI's activities were disturbing the comfort of residents.
Because it borders directly with Jurangjero Village, when limestone is burned using coal, smoke billows into Dukuh Kembang, thus causing an environmental impact.
"We are disturbed, the smell is very unpleasant, like sulfur. Sometimes it makes it difficult to breathe," he said.
He regretted the incident that occurred last Wednesday (13/11).
