The World Health Organization is working with countries to investigate the global pharmaceutical supply chain for such syrups. Andika Urrasyidin, lead police investigator of the case, told Reuters police have called in "many" BPOM officials for questioning, and the investigation is still underway. Hersadwi Rusdiyono, the director of Indonesia's national police's crimes detection unit, said BPOM officials were brought in as witnesses, but investigators are now checking if any wrongdoing was committed by drug regulators.

Hersadwi said the probe so far has focused on staff at lower levels and not included BPOM'S chief, Penny Lukito.
