embers of the Jakarta Entertainment Association considered the possibility of filing a lawsuit against Jakarta administration should the latter fail to provide a solid basis for terminating the business license of Alexis Hotel in North Jakarta.

The city administration previously decided not to extend the permit of the premises due to public reports that it facilitated prostitution.

The head of the association, Erick Halauwet, said the administration should provide an explanation and strong evidence of the prostitution accusations.

“If the governor continues with his arrogance, we will file a lawsuit,” Erick said on Wednesday, as quoted by tempo.co.

“Alexis never got any sanctions or warning letters from the administration,” he said.

Previously, Anies said he had formed a team specifically tasked to uncover violations allegedly committed by the hotel’s management.

However, he refused to reveal details of his findings. (cal)
