The scheduled handover of Bank Indonesia liquidity support (BLBI) convict Sherny Kojongian to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) on Wednesday morning has been canceled.
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement was scheduled to hand over Sherny to the AGO at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Wednesday morning.
As of 9:30 a.m., an official statement had not been made on the reason for the cancellation.
Sherny, who fled Indonesia in 2002, was arrested in San Francisco on Nov. 10, 2010, after being red-flagged by Interpol in 2006.??
Sherny tried to fight her deportation, but the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected her appeal.??
Sherny was found guilty of misusing BLBI funds along with her late husband Hendra Rahardja, a former chief commissioner of now-defunct Bank Harapan Santosa (BHS).??
The Central Jakarta District Court sentenced Sherny in absentia to 20 years in prison on March 18, 2002, along with her son and then BHS commissioner Eko Edi Putranto, who remains at large.
Hendra was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, he died in Australia in 2002.?The court ruled that Sherny and her family caused Rp 1.95 billion (US$206,700) in state losses.(fzm)
