"No, no," Wahid told journalists who had asked him whether he would grant the pardon for Hutomo "Tommy" Mandala Putra. The president was talking to journalists at the Halim Perdanankusumah airport here, shortly after his arriving home from a trip overseas. ________ http://www.lycos-asia.com/my/asia/indonesia/001004061455.rejep6g1.html Indonesian judge says he has not freed Suharto of any charges JAKARTA, Oct 4 (AFP) - 14:14 - The head of the panel of judges which dismissed a corruption case against former Indonesian president Suharto has said he did not exonerate the former president of all charges and he could still face trial, a report said Wednesday. "The case has not been stopped in any way ... whether tomorrow, a week or a month later, if prosecutors want to bring back the case into this court, the case will just get a new number," Judge Lalu Mariyun said according to the Jakarta Post. Mariyun said Suharto was still a suspect, and the reason the judges closed the trial last week was because the prosecutors had failed to produce the defendant in court -- not because teams of doctors said the 79-year-old former dictator was unfit for trial. Under Indonesian law, the prosecution is responsible for producing defendants in court. "We have not freed Suharto of any charge. He is a suspect," Mariyun said. "Why was it that Suharto could be brought to Pertamina hospital in South Jakarta for reexamination by the medical team, but failed to show up in court?" Mariyun said. One of Suharto's lawyers, Juan Felix Tampubolon, had gloated after the September 28 verdict that since the court closed the case after doctors said Suharto was unfit for trial, then the former president could never again be taken to court, on any charge, in the future. A team of independent doctors set up on the court's order to give the final say on Suharto's health, examined the former leader for nine hours before the last trial session. Suharto, however, has never showed up at any of the three sessions of his corruption trial which began on August 31, with his defence lawyers citing his ill health. "They (the prosecutors) should have taken some sort of action. They were waiting for judges to issue a court order to bring in the defendant by force ... isn't that against the law on human rights?" Mariyun said. He said the ruling by the five member-panel of judges on September 28 to close the trial "is like what a court does with police dossiers." When the prosecutors' office receives incomplete dossiers from the police for a trial, the office returns it to the police for further work so the files can be complete, he added. "And that is what we have been doing," he said. Mariyun said the judges had refused a proposal by the prosecutors to visit Suharto at his residence to determine if his health prevented him from attending the trial. "Why should judges give priority to this defendant? He deserves no special treatment, the case should proceed in court and not at the defendant's convenience and his residence," Mariyun said. President Abdurrahman Wahid has called the decision to drop the case against Suharto "biased" and has said he expected prosecutors to appeal the verdict. Suharto was accused of stealing 571 million dollars from the state by allegedly funnelling money from huge tax-free charity foundations he ran into the businesses of family and friends. ________ http://www.lycos-asia.com/my/asia/indonesia/001004050145.10a7i4aj.html Indonesian prosecutor adamant Suharto crony guilty of corruption JAKARTA, Oct 4 (AFP) - 13:01 - Prosecutors on Wednesday insisted that timber baron Muhammad "Bob" Hasan, a close business partner of former Indonesian president Suharto, had unlawfully pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars from state coffers. Arnold Angkouw, who heads a team of state prosecutors, told Central Jakarta Court that the defendant's argument that the charges were unclear and legally flawed was baseless. Angkouw said the charges "have a legal base and were prepared carefully, clearly and comprehensively," and were in line with the code regulating the judgement of criminal cases. The prosecutors accuse Hasan of having defrauded the state of 75.6 million dollars and the Indonesian Association of Forest Concessionaires (APHI) of another 168.1 million dollars through an aerial mapping project. Defence lawyers have argued that the charges were based on a 1971 law that was revoked in August last year and therefore had no legal basis. Angkouw called on the panel of judges to rule in its next session on October 12 that the case against Hasan, a former minister and member of the International Olympic Committee, will continue to be heard. The judges also decided to defer until the next session a decision on a defence request for a stay of Hasan's detention or at least a conversion of his house arrest into a city arrest. Hasan served as minister of industry and trade in Suharto's last cabinet before the dictator resigned under public pressure in May 1998. The prosecution accused Hasan of "enriching himself" at the expense of the state, between 1989 and 1999 as APHI chairman or as the majority shareholder in PT Adikarto Printindo and PT Mapindo Parama. Hasan had signed a contract for aerial mapping of forest concessions in Borneo, but the results did not meet the technical requirements set down by the forestry and plantation ministry. The forestry ministry found the aerial photographs of such bad quality that they were unuseable, according to the prosecutor's office. The prosecutor also said that Hasan had employed his own firm Adikarto Printindo, which he later disguised as another firm, Mapindo Parama, to do the aerial photography job at vastly inflated prices. Over nine years Hasan transferred 168.1 million dollars of APHI's cash into the bank account of his own company Printindo, which later changed its name to Mapindo Parama. _______________________________________________________ The Berita Malaysia / bmalaysia mailing lists ============================================ Read postings, subscribe/unsubscribe or change settings at: http://www.eGroups.com/list/beritamalaysia/ http://www.eGroups.com/list/bmalaysia/ -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> Get a NextCard Visa with rates as low as 2.99% Intro APR! 1.
