Years ago, the POLRI named two suspects in the case of alleged embezzlement related to the dispute on debt-claiming rights (cessie) involving PT Geria Wijaya Prestige (PT GWP). The announcement is only the beginning of more complicated matters. Lawsuits after lawsuits came into four different courts in two different provinces. One advocate was sentenced to contempt of court, several key persons were sentenced to the predicate crime, but the most important thing has not been resolved. The two suspects previously named by the POLRI have not even been tried, and the disputed assets are still being disputed. The Ministry of Finance has tried to auction the assets twice but failed both attempts. We learned that a new lawsuit was registered again to the South Jakarta District Court in 2022 but has since lost track of the case. Recently, we learned that there is already a legally binding decision. Unfortunately, considering the sensitivity of the dispute, there are nearly no documents made available to the public.
