JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not yet detained two personal assistants to the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharief Hiariej or Eddy Hiariej, Yogi Arie Rukmana and Yosi Andika Mulyadi.

This was conveyed by the Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri when asked about the investigation of Yogi and Yosi. Both were investigated in connection with allegations of bribery and gratification at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights as suspects.

"The information we have obtained is because there is still a need for an investigation process, so no attempt has been made to force detention," Ali told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, December 5.

Ali reasoned that they still needed time so that the detention process was in accordance with the laws and regulations. Thus, this forced effort can be carried out in the near future.

"We just want to make sure that all suspects at the KPK, we make sure that it is time for detention to be carried out for smooth processes and legal certainty. So we need time," he said.

"KPK hopes that this week we will also summon other suspects whose time is soon we will inform you," Ali 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 KPK 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.
