Earlier this year, the Satgas BLBI (Satuan Tugas Penanganan Hak Tagih Negara Dana Bantuan Likuiditas Bank Indonesia), a task force under Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati’s supervision to recover funds related to the 1997-1998 financial crisis, confiscated some of the assets on behalf of Irjanto Ongko, son of Kaharudin Ongko of Ongko Multicorpora. At the time, we also learned that the Police had named suspects in the case of alleged embezzlement of assets related to BLBI. The suspects, supposedly, are individuals in the Ministry of Finance had colluded with land mafias. We have been waiting for a detailed explanation on the allegation, but no further information was made public. Instead, we learned that Irjanto filed a lawsuit two days ago, challenging the Satgas’ decision on the confiscation of his assets. Irjanto is not the first to sue the process of confiscation related to the scandal.To subscribe please click here
