AKARTA: Central Jakarta District Court has received the case dossiers of former Bank Century owners Rafat Ali Rizvi and Hesyam Al Waraq. They will be charged with money laundering and corruption, a court official said Friday.
Rafat and Hesyam are both foreign nationals whose whereabouts are unknown and they will both be tried in absentia.
"Both will be charged with money laundering and corruption," deputy attorney general for special crimes Marwan Effendi said as quoted by detik.com.
Last year the same court sentenced the other former owner of the bank, Robert Tantular, an Indonesian national, to four years' imprisonment, and the appeal court later added another year.
The verdict will be used as legal grounds for the government to re recoup depositors' money the bankers allegedly hid overseas.
