Hola Julia

Yes, you could also use the present subjunctive after "Sospechamos que...." if what the speaker's intention is to express uncertainty/ hesitancy about what they're saying. Otherwise, this "sospechamos que..." using the indicative, will be taken more as a "Creemos que..., Pensamos que...".

Saludos cordiales
