Forgery convict insists his “office” is real

Forgery convict Muhammad Misbakhun, who was spotted dining in a shopping center last week, has rebuked allegations that the company that he says he works is fictitious.

Misbakhun was spotted wandering around a mall by a reporter when he was supposed to be in prison. He claimed he was on parole and that he was working for a company, PT Energi Bara Primadi.

However, it was previously reported that the company's address led to a house, not an office, in Senopati, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

Misbakhun has denied the report, adding that the office was legitimate.

"[That's because you] came at 7 a.m.," he said at Salemba Penitentiary on Thursday, as reported by tribunnews.com.

He suggested reporters come to the office during its working hours.

"Go to Senopati if [you] do not believe [me]," he said.
