JAKARTA (JP): The Central Jakarta District Court postponed on
Wednesday the first trial of a judge implicated in a bribery
case, which is alleged to have involved some Rp 550 million
(US$64,705).

Fauzatullo Zendrato, a Jakarta High Court judge, said that he
objected to facing trial without the presence of his lawyer, Deny
Kailimang.

According to Fauzatullo, 51, he had informed Denny to be
present at the court, however he failed to appear.

Judge Bambang Sriwulan adjourned the hearing until next week
as every defendant deserved representation by his/her lawyer in
court.

Fauzatullo is facing allegations of receiving money from PT
Surabaya Industry Estate to influence a land dispute case
involving the firm. (04)
