Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The president director of PT Hanson International Tbk (MYRX), Benny Tjokrosaputro, who was named defendant in the alleged corruption case of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero), will be subjected to an accusation hearing today Thursday (10/15/2020) .
Bentjok, as he is often called, was able to follow the judicial process in this case after being declared ill for being infected with the corona virus (Covid-19).
Bentjok’s attorney, Muchtar Arifin, said his client has been declared healthy and is no longer in independent isolation.
“Alhamdulillah, Mr. Benny is healthy, he’s negative,” Muchtar said when contacted by CNBC Indonesia on Wednesday (10/14/2020).
Muchtar continued, his client will undergo a prosecution hearing this Thursday to be held at the South Jakarta District Court, Central Jakarta, Jalan Bungur.
“Yes, tomorrow Thursday [hari ini sidang tuntutan]”he said again.
As is known, the four defendants in the Jiwasraya case were subjected to court decisions on Monday, October 12, 2020 at the Jakarta Central District Court, Jalan Bungur.
The court ordered the four defendants the maximum penalty, namely life imprisonment.
Former Jiwasraya Chairman and Director Hendrisman Rahim was found guilty of corruption by enriching himself and Benny Tjokro and others worth Rs 16 trillion and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Later, former Jiwasraya CFO Hary Prasetyo was also sentenced to life imprisonment at the verdict hearing that was held on Monday (12/10/2020).
The former head of Jiwasraya’s investment and finance division, Syahmirwan, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the Jiwasraya corruption scandal.
The sentence against Syahmirwan was harsher than the previous prosecutor’s demands, namely 18 years in prison and a fine of Rs 1 billion.
For information, the Attorney General’s Office has designated Hendrisman Cs as a defendant in the Jiwasraya case. The state loss due to Jiwasraya’s investment in stocks and mutual funds is estimated at Rs 16.8 trillion according to data from the Supreme Audit Agency.
Not only that, in Jiwasraya’s case, the AGO also named an official from the Financial Services Authority and 13 investment management (MI) companies as suspects.
The demands of the Public Ministry against the accused have become a public concern. This is because the government already did rescue in (shareholder capital injection) to replace client funds that are arbitrarily managed by Jiwasraya officials.
The form, the government will give the National Capital Participation (PMN) to PT Bahana development Usaha Indonesia or Bahana (Indonesian Financial Group), in the amount of IDR 22 billion in 2 stages (2021-2022) to establish a new life insurance, namely IFG Life to transfer the policies of Jiwasraya clients.
On the other hand, of the legal case, only 2 defendants remained who had not yet been brought to trial for prosecution, including Bentjok and Heru Hidayat, chairman commissioner of PT Trada Alam Minera Tbk (TRAM).
The two were supposed to undergo an impeachment hearing in the Central Jakarta District Court Corruption Case on September 24, 2020. However, the two were unable to appear at trial because they were positively infected with the Corona virus. .
Jakarta Central District Court Public Relations Bambang Nurcahyono relayed that the schedule for hearing Heru and Bentjok’s demands will wait after both are declared healthy and have returned to the detention center (remand center) and are informed by the Attorney General’s Office.
“Wait a second [terdakwa: Bentjok dan Heru] healthy and returned to the detention center and the prosecutor informed the panel of judges that the trial can continue. Because they are both still ill, the Court cannot continue the trial, “said Bambang, when confirmed by CNBC Indonesia, on Monday (12/10/2020).
