JAKARTA - Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna H. Laoly invited the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to continue the legal process against Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej who had been named a suspect.
Yasonna invited law enforcement agencies to process the case, but he also reminded all parties to apply the presumption of innocence.
"Go ahead with the process, but we have to have a presumption of innocence," Yasonna said when he opened the International Conference on Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy in Central Jakarta, Antara, Monday, October 13.
Regarding the current whereabouts of the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights, Yasonna admitted that she did not know because she had just returned to Indonesia from an official trip abroad.
"I don't know, I don't know. I just arrived from abroad," he said briefly.
Previously, the Public Relations Coordinator of the Secretariat General of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Tubagus Erif Faturahman, said that Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Eddy Hiariej did not know about the determination of the suspect in the alleged bribery case by the KPK against him.
Eddy Hiariej, said Tubagus, had never been investigated in the investigation and had not yet received an investigation warrant (sprindik) or Notice of Commencement of Investigation (SPDP) by investigators from the anti-corruption commission.
"He did not know anything about the determination of the suspect who was reported by the media because he had never been examined in the investigation and had not received any sprindik or SPDP," said Tubagus in a written statement received in Jakarta, Friday (10/11).
Regarding the legal status of the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights, Tubagus said that his party adhered to the principle of presumption of innocence until there was clarity of the court's decision.
"We adhere to the principle of presumption of innocence until there is a court decision that is permanent," added Tubagus.
In addition, Tubagus also said that the Ministry of Law and Human Rights would first coordinate regarding the legal assistance to be provided to Eddy Hiariej. "Regarding legal assistance from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, we will coordinate it first," he said.
Previously, the KPK said that it had signed a letter determining Wamenkumham Eddy Hiariej as a suspect in the alleged bribery case about two weeks ago.
"The determination of the suspect Wamenkumham, that's right, we signed it about two weeks ago," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata at the KPK's Red and White Building, South Jakarta, Thursday (9/11).
Alex said that his party also named other suspects in the investigation of the alleged corruption case. "Four suspects, from the three recipients, gave one," said Alex.
Eddy Hiariej was reported by Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) to the KPK on suspicion of gratification of Rp7 billion. IPW chairman Sugeng Teguh Santoso on Tuesday (14/3) reported Yogi Ari Rukmana as Eddy Hiariej's personal assistant and advocate Yosie Andika Mulyadi to the KPK.
Sugeng Teguh Santoso reported both of them on suspicion of receiving gratuities worth IDR 7 billion related to consultation and assistance for the ratification of a company's legal entity.
