JAKARTA - In connection with reports in a number of media at the end of last August with the title Kendiri Cheria Holiday Reported to the South Jakarta Police on Alleged Embezzlement', Bimo Prasetio, SH from Resilience Law Firm, as Lawyer for Cheriatna as the founder of Cheria Holiday gave a response. As Cheria Holiday's attorney he clarified the allegations.

"It's okay"

First, there is no act of enriching oneself. All use of funds can be accounted for and recorded for the benefit of the Company," said Bimo.

Second, the Nano Group is suspected of misusing funds. After PT Cheria Halal Wisata (PT CHW) was acquired by PT Nanotech Indonesia Global, Tbk (NIG), it was suspected that the Nano Group used PT CHW funds for the benefit of their company under the guise of investment from PT CHW to NIG and PT Nanotech Investama Sedaya (NIS).

Third, the alleged violation of governance by Suryandaru. The PT CHW funds were used without the approval of the GMS for the business interests of the Nano Group, NIG and NIS affiliated companies. "This is known after many book transfer transactions were found from PT CHW accounts to NIS and NIS, with Suryandaru's involvement," said Bimo.

"It's okay"

Fourth, at this time, the lawsuit against PT NIG (Nano Group's parent company), Surindaru, and related parties is being finalized to be registered immediately.

Fifth, trademark violation. The legal owner of the Cheria Holiday - Farida Ningsih (the wife of Cheriatna) brand - firmly prohibits Nano Group from using the Cheria Holiday brand. However, the Nano Group is suspected of continuing to promote with the brand which has the potential to mislead consumers. Currently, Nano Group has used a new brand, namely Go Nano / Go Nano Tour Travel, but it is allegedly still selling' the name Cheria Holiday to attract consumers," he said.

And sixth, the criminal report is just a pressure back. We value the report as an attempt to pressure the owner of Cheria Holiday and her family not to sue for compensation and legal responsibility for alleged violations of the Nano Group.

Business Dispute

Thus, the accusation of embezzlement against the Founder of Cheria Holiday is untrue and tends to mislead the public. We emphasize that this issue is basically a business dispute, not a criminal act, so that its resolution must be pursued through a business mechanism as well as in the civil realm. Currently, Cheria Holiday continues to operate as usual and runs a business under PT Cheria Trip Bahagia.

"It's okay"

Our client has never taken personal advantage of the company's funds. All transactions are recorded and accountable. In fact, the Nano Group is suspected of abusing Cheria Holiday assets and brands. This criminal report is just an attempt to silence the family of the owner of Cheria Holiday who is demanding their rights," said Bimo Prasetio, SH of Resilience Law Firm, Attorney for Founder of Cheria Holiday.

"It's okay"

We urge all parties, including the media, to present information in a balanced manner in order to maintain the good name of the parties and prevent wrong public opinion.
