REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, EAST LOMBOK -- The Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Assembly (MPR RI) Hidayat Nur Wahid said there was a criminalization in the determination of Islahudin Akbar and Adnin Armas as suspect of alleged money laundering case. Islahudin was accussed to violate Law on Banking, while the the Chairman of the foundation Adnin Armas was alleged to violate Law on Foundation. "This was a part of criminalization," said Hidayat in the Hall of Siti Zaunun Muhammad Zainul Majdi, Hamzanwadi Nahdlatul Wathan University, Selong, East Lombok, on Thursday (Feb 23).

Hidayat argued that the accussation on money laundering should be clear on the principal criminal. There should bean evidence of violation of law, such as corruption, crime, or drugs. "Meanwhile the funds managed by Adnin came from the public. All the 411 rally agenda brought peaceful activities. It was weird to be said as money laundering," he said.

Hidayat also questioned the similar cases which were not processed, for example the funds for Teman Ahok. "Why do the funds for Teman Ahok as much as 30 billion rupiahs were not investigated? If it was only applied to ulemas, then it was a criminalization. The authority should be fair, whoever did it," said him.
