Jakarta, Armfalcon.com —

Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir comment about Hotman Paris Hutapea so the lawyer for the family of Asiah Shinta Dewi Hasibuan, the woman who fell and died in the elevator at Kualanamu Airport.

Erick said Hotman was his best friend. He also said that Hotman’s actions were good because he defended people in need.

“Good, we need figures lawyers like this. There has been communication on the ground this morning, but I haven’t been able to get the details because this is a subsidiary of AP, namely Angkasa Pura Aviasi,” said Erick at the Ministry of BUMN Office, Jakarta, Wednesday (3/5).

Erick also admitted that he was very open about the legal steps taken by Asiah’s family. He considered that this event could also be a record for BUMN to work even better.

“Of course I am deeply sorry for the incident in Kualanamu, because of that I support the investigation process,” he said.

Therefore, he also did not want to rush to fire the directors of PT Angkasa Pura Aviasi and its parent company PT Angkasa Pura II (AP II) in relation to the case of Asiah’s death.

“If I said ‘oh this director was immediately fired’, it would be too early. We’re still waiting for the investigation and review, whether there was an error, maybe we’ll see from the results later,” said Erick.

Hotman Paris Hutapea officially becomes the lawyer for the family of a woman who fell and died in an elevator at Kualanamu Airport, North Sumatra. He will immediately send a letter of subpoena to six companies related to the case.

The six companies that will be subpoenaed are PT Angkasa Pura II, PT Angkasa Pura II Aviasi, PT Angkasa Pura Solusi, GMR Airpors Limited, GMR Airports Consortium, and Aeroports de Paris.

“We have just been appointed as attorneys. Now this is only limited to subpoenas and the possibility of making a police report,” said Hotman Paris at W Super Club, quoted from detikcom, Tuesday (2/5).

The power of attorney for Hotman was signed by the victim’s husband, Asiah Shinta Dewi Hasibuan, Ahmad Faisal.

Hotman said the family had not received an official explanation from the airport. In addition, Hotman said, the family had not yet been questioned for the inspection report (BAP).

“We will send a subpoena first because to this day there has been no official explanation or the family has not been visited by the airport and elevator management authorities,” said Hotman.
