JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned two assistants to the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharief Hiariej or Eddy Hiariej. Both were summoned in their capacity as suspects.

"The KPK investigating team summoned two suspects, namely lawyers and the private sector to attend the KPK's Red and White Building," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, December 5.

Ali did not specify the two people called. However, based on information, those summoned were Yogi Arie Rukmana and Yosi Andika Mulyadi.

"The information we received was that both of them were present and are currently being investigated by the investigative team," said Ali.

"Developments will be delivered," he continued.

Previously reported, the KPK had examined Eddy Hiariej on Monday, December 4 as a witness for other suspects. He was examined for seven hours by the anti-corruption commission investigators but he did not convey anything.

In this case, Eddy has been named a suspect along with three other people. He is suspected of receiving gratuities and bribes.

The KPK revealed that the form of gratification was allegedly in the form of receiving a sum of money related to the consultation and assistance for the ratification of a company's legal entity. The determination of the suspect based on an investigation warrant (sprindik) has been signed since two weeks ago.

The anti-corruption commission has also sent a letter to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) regarding the determination of Eddy Hiariej as a suspect. The letter was received by the Ministry of State Secretariat (Setneg) on Friday, December 1.

To investigate this case, the KPK has also asked the Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to prevent four people from leaving the country. Apart from Eddy, those prevented were Yosi Andika Mulyadi and Yogi Arie Rukmana who were his personal assistants. Meanwhile, one private party is the President Director of PT Citra Lampia Mandiri Helmut Hermawan.
