T
he Attorney General's Office (AGO) has said it will summon media mogul Hary Tanoesoedibjo for questioning in a corruption case involving a telecommunications company that he owned.
'We will question all commissioners [of the company]. After that, we will question him,' AGO junior attorney for special crimes Arminsyah said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
However Arminsyah also said that it would take some time before prosecutors would be able to question Hary as all those summoned from telecommunications firm PT Mobile-8 Telecom had thus far ignored their summons.
'Last week, all five commissioners failed to show up. We will summon them again next week,' he said.
The AGO has launched a probe into a corruption case related to the restitution of tax refunds for PT Mobile-8 Telecom (Mobile-8/Fren), the network provider of Fren's post-paid services.
The case emerged when Mobile-8, which was at the time owned by Hary, acquired a tax restitution of Rp 10.75 billion (US$ 776,882.11) in 2009. In an attempt to acquire such restitution, Mobile-8 allegedly made a series of fictitious telecommunications equipment purchases from Surabaya-based telecommunications provider company PT Djaja Nusantara Komunikasi (DNK) between 2007 and 2009.
