In June 2020, Freddy Widjaja—son of the late Eka Tjipta Widjaja, the tsar of Sinar Mas Group—filed a civil lawsuit at the Central Jakarta District Court, demanding his share of inheritance. The news was widely reported this week as the group through Gandi Sulistiyanto Soeherman (a managing director) provided their side of the story.
