Central Jakarta District Court is expecting Citibank lawyers to attend a hearing on Thursday in the hearing of a civil lawsuit filed by the family of Irzen Octa, a politician who died after a meeting with Citibank’s debt collectors.
The Citibank legal team had failed to show up to the initial hearing on May 12, and the adjourned hearing on May 26, citing "technical issues" for their absence.
The family of Irzen Octa accuse Citibank of disobedience and negligence in performing its banking duties and are demanding Rp 3 trillion (US$351 million) in damages.
Irzen Octa died on March 28 after a meeting the Citibank debt collectors at a branch in Jakarta.
An initial autopsy reported no signs of violence in Irzen's death, but a second autopsy found signs he had been tortured. (awd)
