JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Former Vice Minister of Law & Human Rights Denny Indrayana is expected on Friday (Mar. 27) to answer the call from the National Police for the first questioning as a graft suspect in a case related to the payment gateway system at the Law Ministry.

Denny’s lawyer Defrizal confirmed his client will present in the questioning. The questioning itself is arranged at around 9:00 am of Jakarta time at the office of the National Police’s Criminal Investigation (Bareskrim Polri).

As reported earlier, the Bareskrim Polri has named Denny as a graft suspect a few days ago. The Bareskrim Polri earlier planned to charge Denny with Article 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law juncto Article 55 of the Criminal Code (KUHP).

Other than Denny, the Bareskrim Polri has also already questioned a dozen witnesses, including former Minister of Law & Human Rights Amir Syamsuddin, who is also Chairman of Democratic Party Honorary Board.

Amir Syamsuddin and Denny Indrayana led the Ministry of Law & Human Rights from 2011 to 2014 under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) administration. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
