JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that there was not only one suspect in the alleged corruption originating from the report of the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej or Eddy Hiariej. This is because the application of bribery articles usually includes recipients and givers. It is known that the anti-corruption commission applied two articles in this case. Apart from gratification, the application of the bribery article was also carried out. “ If the bribe is not possible alone. There is a giver, there is a recipient. At least two, ” said KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur to reporters quoted on Tuesday, November 7. Asep did not want to specify the number of suspects in this case. “ There are those who are intermediaries and others, ” he said. As previously reported, the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights was reported to the KPK by IPW for allegedly receiving gratuities of up to IDR 7 billion. This acceptance is allegedly related to consultation and assistance for ratifying a company's legal entity. After being reported, Edward then went to the KPK to clarify. He even said this report led to slander. Edward was last questioned by the KPK building on Friday, July 28. He was efficient when he came out after the examination. "I don't want to answer, he will be (legal power, ed)," said Eddy to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building at that time. He chose to hurry from the building. "Nothing," said Eddy.

Meanwhile, Ricky Herbert Parulian Sitohan as Eddy's attorney said investigators clarified a number of findings. However, he did not elaborate further. "I don't think there is a need to answer because it is the KPK's internal right to answer that," he said.
