JAKARTA (JP): PT Bartra Putra Invesco (BPI) has strongly denied allegations that it was involved in the construction of the Bukit Cempaka Indah housing complex in Tangerang.

The company's director, Emir Baramuli told reporters on Wednesday that his company's name had been used by Irwan Siregar, Soritua Siregar, and Asiliyas to deceive people by selling houses at the complex.

"Without our approval, Irwan and company used the name of PT BPI for land appropriation," Emir said, adding that Irwan issued fictitious letters, brochures, and receipts under the name of PT Bartra Putra Invesco.

He revealed that his company had been swindled out of Rp 15 million (US$7,000) by Irwan.(29)
