Cendana" Family's Wealth May be Confiscated as Guarantee



The state attorney team from the Attorney General's Office (AGO) is of the opinion that the assets of Suharto's beneficiaries can be included in the list of guaranteed confiscation in the Supersemar Foundation civil case. According to Yoseph Suardi Sabda, one of the attorneys from the AGO, it can be the responsibility if the foundation's assets are insufficient to meet the claim's value. "The AGO can include it by a request during the trial," he said in Jakarta last Saturday (2/2).

Before confiscating the guarantee, said Yoseph, the state attorney will make the effort to monitor the assets of Suharto's beneficiaries. "The monitoring can be performed and the permit can be requested by replacing the position of defendant Suharto," he said. "So that if there are liabilities to paid, it won't be constrained. ."According to a civil law expert from Padjadjaran University, Isis Ikhwansyah, confiscating the assets of Suharto's beneficiaries as guarantee can be performed in a civil case. "As long as they are Suharto's personal assets," he said.In order to trace Suharto's personal assets, the AGO can intervene as the third party. The right time for the AGO to do the trace, according to Isis, is when there is another civil dispute in the defendant's internal suit.According to Isis, the main requirement to confiscate the assets of Suharto's beneficiaries is when there are indications of transfer to the beneficiaries as regards the assets.Before he died, Suharto was the defendant in the Supersemar Foundation civil case.With Suharto's death, the South Jakarta District Court's panel of judges asked the defendant to decide the beneficiaries as the defendant's replacement.

According to the state attorney, Suharto's replacement is his six children.Suharto's legal advisor, Mohammad Assegaf, said that the AGO is not authorized to monitor the assets of late Suharto's beneficiaries. "There's no legal connection between the Supersemar Foundation civil case and Suharto family's assets," he said yesterday (4/2). "That is beyond privacy,"The plan to confiscate the assets was not thought to be effective by Emerson Junto from the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) Working Body. According to him, the category of wealth resulted from corruption by Suharto's beneficiaries and Suharto's personal wealth is difficult to prove."Moreover through a civil claim."

Nine of Indonesia’s 11 richest families have found shelter in tropical tax havens

Billionaires Among Thousands of Indonesians Found in Secret Offshore Documents  By Nicky Hager April 9, 2013, 8:15 pm Nine of Indonesia’s 11 richest families have found shelter in tropical tax havens, holding ownership of more than 190 offshore trusts and companies, secret records obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists show. The nine families, worth an estimated $36 billion among them, are at the top of a wealthy class that dominates Indonesia’s politics and economy. Six were closely tied to the late dictator Suharto, who helped a special circle of Indonesians grow rich during his 31-year rule by granting economic fiefdoms to family and friends. The billionaires are among nearly 2,500 Indonesians found in the files of Singapore-headquart ered offshore services provider Portcullis TrustNet, which ICIJ has been analyzing and began reporting on last week.

Debate Islam in Indonesia

http://www.thejakar taglobe.com/ opinion/interloc utors-of- indonesian- islam/560447 Interlocutors of Indonesian Islam Ahmad Najib Burhani | December 08, 2012 A few months ago, the Japanese anthropologist Mitsuo Nakamura told me that studying Nahdlatul Ulama as an organization was beyond the imagination of any American scholar from the 1950s to the ’70s. But he is not the only academic to have noticed this. George McT. Kahin of Cornell University stated the same thing. Even NU-expert Martin van Bruinessen was not expecting to study NU as his primary focus when he came to Indonesia for the first time in the 1980s.   During the early decades of Indonesian independence, NU was relatively unorganized and its management was largely based on the authority of religious teachers ( kyai ). Of course there were a number of scholars who studied NU-affiliated religious schools ( pesantren ) and its kyai, but not NU as an organization.   Even though NU was one of the ...

is that true in Indonesia there freedom of religion?

The problems began shortly after Tajul Muluk, a Shiite cleric, opened a boarding school in 2004. The school, in a predominantly Sunni Muslim part of East Java, raised local tensions, and in 2006 it was attacked by thousands of villagers. When a mob set fire to the school and several homes last December, many Shiites saw it as just the latest episode in a simmering sectarian conflict — one that they say has been ignored by the police and exploited by Islamists purporting to preserve the purity of the Muslim faith.   Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, has long been considered a place where different religious and ethnic groups can live in harmony and where Islam can work with democracy.   But that perception has been repeatedly brought into question lately. In East Java, Sunni leaders are pushing the provincial government to adopt a regulation limiting the spread of Shiite Islam. It would prevent the country’s two major Shiite organizations from ...
