The Corruption Court began Thursday hearing the case of Yohannes Waworuntu, the director of a partner company of the Justice and Human Rights Ministry, who is accused of a graft case involving a government website.Yohannes is the president director of PT Sarana Rekatama Dinamika (SRD), the company that operated the ministry's directorate general of legal administration website www.sisminbakum.com. The online service was initiated and owned by the Justice and Human Rights Ministry and offered public services such as the issuance of notarized acts and the registration of permits.
A contract between the ministry and SRD stipulated that 90 percent of the profits from the online system's services would go to SRD, with the rest going to ministry officials. Prosecutors claim the money should have gone into state coffers as non-tax revenue
Prosecutors from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) are alleging the online service caused Rp 415 billion (US$40 million) in state losses between 2001 and 2008.
The former director general of legal administration Romli Atmasasmita is also standing trial for the same offense. (dre)
