JAKARTA: The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) seized Rp 15.3 billion (US$1.69 million) from PT Sarana Rekatama Dinamika as part of an ongoing corruption investigation.

The company allegedly embezzled Rp 420 billion from the state as part of an online business registration website it operated for the Justice and Human Rights Ministry.

AGO spokesman Babul Khoir Harahap said that the money seized from the company’s account at Bank Danamon was from people who registered businesses with the ministry.

The money will be evidence in the trials of former justice and human rights minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra and company founder Hartono Tanoesoedibjo, Babul said as quoted by the AGO’s website, kejaksaan.go.id, — JP
