JAKARTA - Former Panitera of the North Jakarta District Court, Bonar Marpaung, publicly revealed the alleged serious violations committed by the famous lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea, even calling him a "black lawyer".
In his statement to the media, on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, Bonar told the background of the incident which began after he resigned and worked at Medco Group. Then the company collaborated with PT Kertas Nusantara, which then filed for bankruptcy at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court in 2011.
Initially, Hotman Paris was appointed as the lawyer for PT Kertas Nusantara. However, he suddenly withdrew and asked his staff to switch to working at Jan Siregar's law firm. This step was the beginning of the revelation of the alleged unflattering behavior.
Bonar, who was trusted by the company at that time, admitted that he directly delivered a number of money to Hotman Paris. The funds came from a joint venture between Medco and PT Kertas Nusantara named Optima Resource.
"The money was handed over to Hotman Paris with the aim of engineering the bankruptcy case of PT Kertas Nusantara," said Bonar.
He continued, the decision to open this fact was taken because he disagreed with Hotman's attitude who often showed himself as the best and best lawyer in the country.
"If he is a great lawyer and has integrity, how could he be involved in a case that harms many parties?" he said in response to Hotman's lifestyle and statements that often become the focus of attention.
Bonar emphasized that he did not spread empty accusations. Everything he said was supported by real evidence, ranging from documentation of the money transfer to a photo of a figure who was previously referred to by Hotman as his personal assistant, Baiti.
He also stated that he was ready to face all legal consequences, including if Hotman Paris chose to take legal action as a form of self-defense.
"I am not afraid at all. Everything I say is a fact and has strong evidence, whoever opposes it," concluded Bonar firmly.
