JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the Director of PT Citra Lampia Mandiri (CLM), Helmut Hermawan, went to the Kramat Jati Police Hospital. The attack was made because the suspect who bribed the former Deputy Minister of Law and Security (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej or Eddy Hiariej was sick.

"The suspect HH has been dispatched by the investigative team since February 1 on the request of the person concerned for reasons of illness," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in his written statement, Wednesday, February 7.

Ali denied that this decision was caused by Helmut falling in the bathroom or having a heart attack. "Regarding the disease, of course, we are not authorized to convey it to the public," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK officially announced Eddy Hiariej as a suspect. He is suspected of receiving up to IDR 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 is suspected of using his power as Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights to unblock PT CLM in the Ministry of Law and Human Rights' Legal Entity Administration System (SABH). He then received Rp1 billion which was used to run for 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 who are also suspects in this case.
