JAKARTA - Director General of General Legal Administration (Dirjen AHU) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) Cahyo Rahadian Muzhar has completed his examination as a witness. He admitted that he was asked about the legal entity's ratification when examined by investigators.

Cahyo was examined as a witness in the case that ensnared former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej.

"As a good citizen, I fulfill the KPK's summons and convey my authority as well as the procedures in my Directorate General alone," said Cahyo at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, December 19.

He did not answer further about the role of Eddy Hiariej et al in handling the dispute between PT Citra Lampia Mandiri (CLM) for the Helmut Hermawan camp. "It was handed over to the KPK," he said after undergoing the examination.

The KPK has announced Eddy Hiariej as a suspect. He is suspected of receiving money of up to Rp. 8 billion which was divided several times for a number of purposes involving the boss of PT CLM, Helmut Hermawan.

Eddy's first acceptance was made after he agreed to consult the general legal administration of the PT CLM ownership dispute. At that time Helmut gave Rp4 billion.

Then, he also received Rp3 billion to stop the legal process involving Helmut at the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit through the issuance of a letter of termination of investigation (SP3).

Finally, Eddy allegedly used his power as Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights to unblock PT CLM in the Ministry of Law and Human Rights' Legal Administration System (SABH). At that time, he received Rp1 billion which was then used to nominate himself as Chairman of the Central Management of the Indonesian Tennis Association (PP Pelti).

The KPK suspects that Eddy made this acceptance through two people as representatives of himself. They are lawyers named Yosi Andika Mulyadi and Yogi Arie Rukmana who are his personal assistants.

Currently, the KPK has just arrested Helmut Hermawan. Three suspects, including Eddy Hiariej, have not been arrested.
