The High Prosecutor of East Java has been trying to ensnare the former Chairman of the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) La Nyalla Mattalitti for the graft that he allegedly committed during his tenure as chairman of the East Java Indonesian Chamber of Commerce (Kadin). La Nyalla was named a suspect but he filed a pre-trial lawsuit against the decision and won. The High Prosecutor, with the help of the Attorney General’s Office (AGO), however, insisted that La Nyalla must be held accountable. And so La Nyalla was once again named as a suspect. History repeats itself, until La Nyalla won all three pre-trial lawsuits he filed against the High Prosecutor. Unfazed, the prosecutors are determined to bring prosecute La Nyalla and so they named him a suspect for the fourth time. La Nyalla had faced his trial since September 2016, and on December 27, 2016, the Panel of Judges of the Corruption Court of the Central Jakarta District Court decided in favor of La Nyalla and acquitted him from all charges.To subscribe please click here
