JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej or Eddy Hiariej is said to have not returned to his office after being named a suspect in the alleged gratification case.

"With 4 suspects. From the recipient party 3, from the giver 1," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata.

In the process of investigating this case, the KPK claimed to have pocketed a lot of data on the flow of funds. The data was obtained by the KPK from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).
