The Government has filed a lawsuit with the Bailiwick of Jersey court authorities, to freeze assets allegedly sourced from the Bank Century bailout case. The related decision on this matter passed by the Central Jakarta District Court provides that these assets must be seized and recovered for the Indonesian government.
According to Amir Syamsuddin, Minister of Law and Human Rights, the first court hearing in Jersey has been scheduled to commence in November this year. “The Indonesian government is ready for this lawsuit,” the Minister asserted in Jakarta last Tuesday.
The Minister also informed that the Indonesian delegates for this case consisting of the team responsible for the recovery of assets related to the Bank Century case, visited the court authorities in Jersey and London between 28 July and 4 August.
So far, for the purpose of progressing the case, the Indonesian delegates have proposed mutual legal assistance (MLA) to the Attorney General of Jersey. i. The MLA requests the assets of Hesham Al Warouq and Rafat Ali Rizvi, former owners of Century Bank, be frozen.
, Hesham Al Warouq and Rafat Ali Rizvi were declared guilty of corruption by the Central Jakarta District Court on 16 December 2010. They were sentenced to 15 years imprisonment and fines totaling IDR 15 billion. The decision also ordered them to jointly pay compensation for losses to the state of IDR 3.1 trillion.
The Indonesian delegates have also revealed that at least USD 40 million in assets of both the former owners of Bank Century are scattered throughout financial institutions in Jersey.
However, only USD 16 million of these assets are believed to relate to the Bank Century case. The remaining illicit assets are thought to be located in a number of overseas jurisdictions including Switzerland, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Other than visiting and requesting an MLA, the Indonesian delegates also paid a visit to the Lieutenant Governor, Chief Minister and Assistance Chief Minister of the Bailiwick of Jersey regarding the Bank Century case and the lawsuit.
“This meeting produced positive results,” stated Amir.
At these meetings, the Jersey authorities confirmed their commitment to continue with the MLA. They also intend to show the world that their jurisdiction is not a safe haven for illicit assets.
