Two ICI men tried for defamation

JAKARTA: The South Jakarta District Court commenced on
Wednesday a defamation hearing against two directors of paint
producer PT ICI Paints Indonesia who reported a director
colleague to the police for embezzlement.

Prosecutor Jaja Subagja charged Clay Tirtana Subrata and
Yoesoef Santo under Articles 310 and 311 of the Criminal Code.
The articles carry maximum sentences ranging from nine months to
four years in prison.

The panel of judges, which is presided over by Judge Effendi,
with members Syamsul Ali and Tjaroko Imam Widodadi, adjourned the
hearing until next week.

Subrata and Yoesoef, who are representatives from PT ICI
stakeholder PT Dwi Satrya Utama, reported to the police in
November last year that Inderadi Kosim, who is a director of ICI
Omicron BV, had ignored procedures in the auction of PT ICI's
seven operational cars and two motorcycles.

The two were suspicious that Kosim had sold the vehicles
without holding an auction and kept the money for himself.--JP
