“Recently, in the State Capture Commission, the accusations made against the judiciary have been ignored and repressed by the president himself,” the statement read.
“It is also very clear to me that the judiciary and the legal system as a whole point me to a different and special treatment.
“Therefore, I affirm in advance that the State Capture Allegations Commission cannot expect further cooperation from me in any of its processes in the future.
“If this stance is considered a violation of your law, then let your law take its course,” the statement read.
