JAKARTA – Cedrus Investment Ltd, an investment company owned by foreign businessman Rani T Jarkas, has lost to Indonesian businessman Harun Abidin and Indonesian Central Securities Depository (KSEI) at the Jakarta High Court in a case of a company stock dispute being investigated by the police.
The decision of the Jakarta High Court is contained in letter Number 319/ Pdt/2018/PT.DKI dated December 6, 2018, signed by Legito as the court’s bailiff. The decision of the Jakarta High Court strengthens the decision of the South Jakarta District Court which was terminated in 2017.
For the victory at the appeal, Indonesian businessmam Harun Abidin has asked the Indonesian National Police (Polri) to arrest and bring Rani T. Jarkas in Indonesia to account for his actions which had caused him losses.
“I hope that the Indonesian National Police will issue a red notice against Rani so that Rani’s movements will be limited, especially since Rani never wants to come to Indonesia to fulfill the investigator’s summons,” said Harun Abidin’s attorney Jimmy Manurung, SH, to reporters on Thursday (01/09/2019).
