Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Former justice and human rights minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra has been named a suspect in a corruption case that happened during his tenure, the Attorney Gneral`s Office (AGO) said.
He was named suspect along with Hartono Tanoesudibyo, a former stakeholder in PT Sarana Rekatama Dinamika.
"The order to investigate Hartono and Yusril Ihza Mahendra as suspects were issued on Thursday (June 24, 2010)," AGO spokesman Didik Darmanto said here on Friday evening.
The AGO had earlier named five suspects in the corruption case affecting the Legal Entity Administration System at the justice and human rights ministry.
Three of the suspects have already been convicted but they are now appealing the verdict with the Supreme Court. They are Romli Atmasasmita and Syamduddin Manan Sinaga (former director general of general legal administration) and Yohanes Woworuntu (former director of PT SRD).
The AGO spokesman said the two newly-named suspects would be summoned for questioning as suspects on July 1.
"With regard to Hartono, the AGO has already asked the immigration office to bar him from overseas travel," he said.
Vice Attorney General Darmono confirmed that the order to investigate Hartono and Yusril had been signed by the junior attorney general for special crimes.
