JAKARTA - The State Billing Rights Task Force related to the Bank Indonesia liquidity assistance (BLBI) case plans to summon Hutomo Mandala Putra alias Tommy Suharto on Thursday, August 26, 2021 this week. The information was conveyed by the BLBI Task Force through its national broadcast in newspapers as part of the summons procedure to the related parties.

"In connection with the implementation of the tasks of the BLBI Task Force which is based on the Decree of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2021, we are hereby requested to attend you on Thursday, August 26 2021 at 15.00 WIB at the Syarifudin Prawiranegara Building, 4th Floor, Ministry of Finance, Central Jakarta," said BLBI quoted Tuesday, 24 August.

Not only Tommy Suharto, the Task Force also made the same summons to the management of PT Timor Putra Nasional with the address at Jalan Balai Pustaka Rawamangun, East Jakarta, and Ronny Hendrarto Ronowicaksono.

"(Agenda summons) Completing the right to collect state funds from BLBI funds based on the Determination of the Amount of State Receivables Number PJPN-375/PUPNC.10.05/2009 dated June 24, 2009 of at least Rp. 2.61 trillion," said the BLBI Task Force.

Furthermore, the summoned parties will later meet with the Head of the Team B Collection and Litigation Working Group.

"In the event that the obligor/debtor does not fulfill the obligation to settle state claims, action will be taken as stipulated in the laws and regulations," said the Task Force.

In the previous VOI report, Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani said that the government is still providing Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance (BLBI) funds to the central bank in the amount of Rp. 110.454 trillion, which was disbursed to obligors and debtors during the 1997-1998 financial crisis.

"Until today, the government still has to pay the BLBI to the central bank, which poured funds into banks, which at that time were experiencing liquidity problems," he said at a virtual press conference in Jakarta, Friday, June 4.
