“It also appears from the results of the examination that we also avoid each other from responsibility. Everyone is protected by the rules and formally valid contracts. Therefore, we have passed on to the President what we have found and all the recommendations for everyone. stakeholders, both of the PUPR government, Menpora, Menkes and so on, we wrote one by one in the 124 pages of the report, “Mahfud explained at a press conference on Friday (14/10/2022).
Mahfud and TGIPF concluded that PSSI was responsible. Because it is believed that the people involved in this incident provide mutual justifications.
“Well then in our archives and documentation, it is also said that if we always rely on formal rules, then there is nothing wrong. Because one says ‘the rules have been implemented this way’, the other says ‘I have respected my contract.’, ‘It complies with the FIFA statute’, so in our archives it is stated that the management of the PSSI must be responsible and its sub-organizations, “said Mahfud.
