Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
PT Bank MNC International Tbk (MNC Bank) by force of law Hotman Paris Hutapea will fight and sue PT Bangun Bumi Bersatu (BBB).
Previously, PT BBB sued MNC Bank and a number of parties, including Hary Tanoesoedibjo, for allegedly violating the law in transferring project receivables without the plaintiff’s knowledge.
“That’s why Hotman Paris was asked by Hary Tanoe to fight and will sue back,” said Hotman Paris at a press conference, Tuesday (26/10).
Hotman said PT BBB felt aggrieved by the pretext of the agreement and the facilities provided were legally flawed. However, according to him, this is actually the opposite of the facts.
The reason is that PT BBB is considered to have received a loan of IDR 51 billion. However, until now, the principal and interest have not been paid. Therefore, the debt and interest are stated to be due with a value of Rp. 61 billion.
Hotman added that there was indeed a second loan agreement of IDR 25 billion. However, the loan will only be given after the Cikotok Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA) has been operating commercially.
“The second loan will only be disbursed if the conditions are met, namely the Cikotok PLTA operates commercially, but in fact it does not operate,” he said.
Hotman also confirmed that in this case the boss of MNC Hary Tanoesoedibjo was not involved because this problem was purely a debt problem. He emphasized that Hary Tanoe is also not part of the board of directors of Bank MNC.
The legal steps that will be taken immediately include a civil defense, suing with PKPU, and will execute the existing collateral. However, until now, his party still has not received a summons from the South Jakarta District Court.
Bank MNC representative Yudhiarto said PT BBB is a company engaged in power generation and plans to build hydropower plants in Cikotok and Cibareno.
For information, in the lawsuit numbered 921/Pdt.G/2021/PN JKT.SEL, PT BBB sued PT Bank MNC Internasional Tbk, PT Harbun Perkasa, PT MNC Investama Tbk, and PT Sapta Prima Talenta. In addition, the defendants were Hary Tanoesoedibyo, and Ati Mulyani and Vestina Ria Kartika.
PT BBB sued on suspicion of violating the law for diverting project receivables from loans disbursed by MNC Bank without the knowledge and consent of the plaintiffs. The allegation caused material losses of Rp. 133.07 billion and immaterial losses of Rp. 100 billion.
