Bahasyim to attend 4th hearing after consecutive delays

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Mon, 01/17/2011 9:47 AM | National

Bahasyim Assifie, a defendant in a Rp 64 billion (US$ 7.1 million) money-laundering and corruption case, is scheduled to stand trial at South Jakarta district court today, after the hearing has been postponed three times.

The court has adjourned previous hearings because of Bahasyim’s ill health and prosecutors’ failure to prepare the indictment.

On Jan 13th, Attorney General chief Basrief Arief demanded a clarification from prosecutor Fachrizal on the reasons for the repeated delays.

Fachrizal has not yet provided a response.
