ormer of deputy justice and human rights minister Denny Indrayana has said he is being criminalized by the police, who have named him a suspect in a corruption case related to the implementation of an electronic system of passport fee payment known as Payment Gateway in 2014.
"He believes he is a victim of criminalization," Denny's lawyer Defrizal said in Jakarta on Wednesday as quoted by Antara news agency.
Police have named Denny, a professor at Gajah Mada University in Yogyakarta, a suspect after questioning him.
Defrizal said Denny was ready to face the charges against him. "He is very much ready as he didn't do anything wrong in the program," the lawyer said.
Police have sent a letter summoning Denny for questioning as a suspect next Friday.
"Denny received the latter last night, but I don't know whether he will answer the summons or not. We have yet to discuss the matter," Defrizal said.
Denny is facing a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment with a fine of Rp 1 billion if found guilty.
Earlier, police said they had found seven indications of incriminating evidence in the payment gateway project implicating Denny when he was deputy minister.
Police chief spokesman Brig. Gen. Anton Charliyan said a report from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) noted a loss of Rp 32 billion in state funds in the procurement of equipment for the payment gateway project.
Police have already questioned dozens of witnesses, including former justice and human rights minister Amir Syamsuddin. (hhr)
