JAKARTA - Bareskrim Polri in the near future will ask for information from Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej or Eddy Hiariej in the alleged defamation case with reported Chairman of Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) Sugeng Teguh Santoso. Eddy Hiariej will be examined in his capacity as a witness. "We will conduct an examination of him (Wamenkumham). Only as a witness can the examination be carried out anywhere. What is clear is that we will conduct an examination of him," said the Director of Cyber Crime at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency Brigadier General Adi Vivid to reporters, Monday, March 27. Regarding the time, Vivid did not explain for sure. However, it is emphasized that his party will ask for information from the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights in the near future. "Maybe in the near future, we will still study first, we will collect evidence first, when we have it we will make a summons," he said. While being discussed further about the handling of the case, Vivid refused to convey it, including regarding the parties who had been examined. He only said that currently the alleged defamation case had entered the investigation stage. "This means that it is still under investigation. Later when it is under investigation, we already have enough evidence, later we will conduct a title to raise it to an investigation," said Vivid. The chairman of IPW Sugeng Teguh Santoso was reported by the personal assistant (aspri) of the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights named Yogi on suspicion of defamation. The report is registered with the number STTL/092/III/2023/BARESKRIM dated March 15. The defamation dugan was carried out because Sugeng said there was a gratuity receipt of Rp. 7 billion by Edward. However, the acceptance is through aspri.
