Hartono's men still await trial

JAKARTA (JP): The trial of three assistants of the alleged
high-class brothel owner, Hartono Setyawan, was postponed by the
judge yesterday because prosecutors were not prepared for
sentencing.

Presiding judge Stephanus Sutrisno decided to give prosecutor
Eko Siwi Irianti and prosecutor Esther Datu Rante until Thursday
to prepare.

Esther Datu Rante is the prosecutor for Hamzah, the locale's
receptionist, and Ari Dewanto, who worked as a driver for
Hartono. Eko Siwi Irianti is the prosecutor for Kho Ghay Goen,
the alleged pimp's right hand man.

According to the original schedule, the two prosecutors were
to have read their sentence request yesterday while prosecutor
Rotua Marpaung was to read the sentence request for Hartono
tomorrow.

Prosecutor Eko Siwi told The Jakarta Post that the trial was
forced to be postponed because the provincial prosecutor's office
had not handed down the prosecutor's sentence proposal, known as
Rentut to them.(mas)
