The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police has named three more companies as suspects in the case of acute kidney failure. Thus, a temporary total of five corporate suspects in the case.

"Currently we have examined 12 witnesses, 4 experts and named 5 companies as suspects," said National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo in his presentation on the End of the Year Release, Saturday, December 31.

The three companies named as suspects include PT Tirta Buana Kemindo, CV Anugrah Perdana Gemilang, and PT Fari Jaya Pratama.

The determination of the suspect, continued Sigit, is one proof of the seriousness of the National Police in handling cases of violence against children.

"Regarding cases involving children's problems, we certainly take law enforcement steps seriously," he said.

On the previous occasion, the National Police had only named two companies as suspects, namely PT Afi Farma and CV Chemical Samudera.

Then, there are also individual suspects. They are E as the main director and AR as the director of the CV Chemical Samudera.

Especially for CV Samudera Chemical and PT Afi Farma, the company was named a suspect because it was considered a criminal act of producing drugs or circulating pharmaceutical preparations that did not meet standards, both in terms of security and benefit.

PT Afi Farma is suspected of under Article 196 in conjunction with Article 98 paragraph (2) and paragraph (3) in conjunction with Article 201 paragraph (1) and/or paragraph (2) of Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health, and Article 62 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 8 paragraph (3) of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection with a penalty of 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of IDR 2 billion.
