“We trust Police
Chief Gen. Tito Karnavian in enforcing the law, and then our blocked
collateral will be released,” Cedrus’ lawyer Iim Abdul Halim said on
Tuesday in Jakarta.
Harun Abidin borrowed money to Cedrus in a proper way, with
a number of shares in some public companies being its collateral. But
instead of paying the money, Harun, as a debtor, sued Cedrus as the
lender.
“We’ve sent a letter to the police chief that the block of
the collateral has no legal basis. We’ve been fighting for our rights
for 10 months,” said the lawyer from Sholeh Adnan and Associates legal
firm.
Iim said that, as a foreign investor, Cedris had the rights
to be treated better and got protection upon his assests in Indonesia.
The businesmens who create mess should not be free from legal process.
“According to the evidence, Harun owed money to Cedrus, and
he has yet to fill his promissory note. The police should take firm
actions,” he added.
Cedrus had filed
a report against Harun at the Cayman Island Court. In line with the
agreement between Cedrus and Harun, it’s the Cayman Island’s law that
will be applied.
Since Harun reported Cedrus to the police, Cedrus reported
Harun to the police criminal directorate for allegedly avoiding debts.
Iim said that if
there was any criminal indication, that the police should find the
evidence. He added that it was not wise if Harun spread information
which has no prove.
“The information without evidence is a lie. It’s not good to spread a lie,” Iim said. (dj)
