Day: December 3, 2018

Last week was an eventful week for the Corruption Court of the Central Jakarta District Court as they continued the trials of several important cases, including the case involving former officials of PT Pertamina (Persero), the case that ensnared PT Nusa Konstruksi Enjiniring Tbk (DGIK), and the E-KTP graft case which recently ensnared the notorious advocate Lucas.

Petroselat Ltd, the subsidiary of PT Sugih Energy Tbk (SUGI), as we all know is in insolvency after being declared bankrupt last year. Unlike it’s fast bankruptcy process, the Company’s insolvency process is too complicated. On November 22, 2018, the curator of the insolvency process one Jun Cai filed a new lawsuit against PT Petronusa Bumibakti, also a subsidiary of SUGI and the majority shareholder of the Company. The first hearing of the other lawsuit filed by Petronusa against SKK Migas is scheduled on December 5, 2018.

On November 29, 2018, as scheduled, the Corruption Court of the Central Jakarta District Court finally held the first hearing of Eni Maulani Saragih, the former Deputy Chairman of the House Commission VIII of the House of Representative (Golkar), as defendant in the case of alleged corruption related to the construction of the Riau Power Plant. The indictment for Eni mentioned that she received bribes from Johannes Kotjo, but there’s more. The indictment also mentioned Eni received grafts from Samin Tan and three other businesspeople. Eni did not object to the indictment, but she said the indictment was not detailed. She promised to uncover more during the next hearings. This is exciting.
