A lawyer for Aloysius Moerba Suseto, the former president director of PT Hotel Indonesia Natour (HIN), has denied that his client spoke about the illegality of the BCA Tower and Kempinski Apartments when he was questioned by the Attorney General's Office (AGO) on March 14.
"We clarified the statement that discredited our client. Our client did not say that the two buildings, the BCA Tower and Kempinski Apartments, were illegally built on land owned by PT Hotel Indonesia Natour located on Jl. MH. Thamrin," Suseto's lawyer Albert Jen Harris Marbun said on March 16.
Harris referred to an article in the jakartapost.com on Thursday entitled, 'BCA Tower, Kempinski Apartments 'illegal', says ex-director,' that quoted a statement on Suseto's questioning session from AGO junior attorney for special crimes Arminsyah.
"He [Seseto] said the two buildings ' the office tower and the apartments ' were built without permission from HIN. Ever since, HIN has sent letters asking for confirmation but [they have been] left unanswered," Arminsyah said.
Suseto, who served at HIN from 1999 to 2009, was questioned as a witness in a build-operate-transfer case that allegedly caused Rp 1.3 trillion (US$96 million) in potential losses to the government. (bbn)
