Dozens of photojournalists and cameramen were eager to catch a glimpse of white-collar crime suspect Inong Malinda, aka "Melinda Dee", on the first day of her long-awaited trial at South Jakarta District Court.
The commotion led security officers to warn journalists to stay away.
"Give us some space, please," one officer said.
The Former Citibank customer relationship senior manager is suspected to have embezzled up to Rp 17 billion (US$1.90 million) from her clients.
"Please pray for me. God willing, everything will be OK," Melinda said before entering the courtroom.
Melinda, 49, is being charged under the 2008 Law on Money Laundering and faces up to 15 years in prison if found guilty. (lfr)
