Yusril, Hartono believed involved in corruption: prosecutor
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Former minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra and businessman Hartono Tanoesoediyo are believed to have taken part in corrupt acts in procuring a Legal Entity Administration System at the justice ministry, a public prosecutor said.
Public prosecutor Fadil Zumhana disclosed this in a session of the South Jakarta District Court on Monday on alleged corruption in the purchase of a Legal Entity Administration System (Sisminbakum) at the Justice and Human Rights ministry that caused a financial loss of 410 billion rupiahs to the state.
"Other alleged corrupters mentioned in the indictment are Ali Amran Djanah and Yohanes Waworuntu," the public prosecutor said before a panel of judges in the reply to the demurrer on defendant Romli Atmasasmita.
Zumhana said the four men, apart from the defendant, had the same status under Article 55 of the first part of the Criminal Code because they had caused the criminal acts to be committed.
"So that, addressing the defendant as the executor or involved in the execution as mentioned in the indictment is already clear and not vague," the public prosecutor said.
The defendant`s lawyer said in the last week session that the public prosecutor`s accusations against his client was not clear or vague so that the session could not be continued.
"The session cannot be continued because the one brought as the defendant was the wrong person and this should be another person," said Romli`s lawyers team comprising Denny Kailimang, Juniver Girsang and Johansyah.
In the case which firstly came up in 2001, the prosecutor office had decided five defendants namely Romli Atmasasmita and Zulkarnain Yunus (both former AHU director generals), AHU nonactive director general Syamsuddin Manan Sinaga, SRD president director Yohannes Woworuntu and former the "Pengayoman" cooperative chairman at the Justice and Humanrights ministry Ali Amran Djannah.
