“If they are convicted, the company will reserve its right of dismissal and right to claim for damages. The company would like to restate that the operation of the Company is in full compliance with the local laws and regulations.”

He stated the company is currently not in the position to comment further on the details of the incident as it is now being investigated by the police.
