JAKARTA - The Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) asked the public to put forward the principle of presumption of innocence after Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej or Eddy Hiariej was named a suspect in the case of alleged gratification. Head of Public Relations of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Tubagus Erif Faturahman in his statement, said that until now the ministry has not yet received a notification letter from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). "We adhere to the principle of presumption of innocence until there is a permanent court decision," said Tubagus, Friday, November 10. Regarding legal assistance to Eddy, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights has also not been confirmed. Because, at this time, the Ministry of Law will still coordinate. "We will coordinate the legal assistance from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights," he said. In addition, said Tubagus, Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Eddy is also known to have not received a letter of determination and has never been examined at the investigation stage. "He did not know anything related to the determination of the suspect reported by the media because he had never been examined in the investigation and also had not received the sprindik or SPDP," he said. Meanwhile, the KPK appointed Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej or Eddy Hiariej as a suspect in the case of alleged gratification. The gratuity is suspected in the form of receipt of a sum of money related to consulting and legal entity legal assistance for a company. "The determination of the suspect Wamenkumham, is correct," said KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata.

The determination of the suspect was based on an investigation warrant (Sprindik) that had been signed two weeks ago. However, in that case, Eddy Hiariej was not only named a suspect. There are three other people who are also suspects. "With 4 suspects. From the recipient 3, from the giver 1," said Alex.
