JAKARTA - Ruben Onsu is facing serious obstacles in the financial health of his company. The alleged fraud worth billions of rupiah carried out by his business partner, Philipus Suprihatin, has a direct impact on the artist's business cycle.
"The impact is quite significant for Ruben at this time because it interferes with the financial health of his company. The money should be used for other purposes, but at this time the money is lost money," said Minola Sebayang, Ruben Onsu's lawyer in South Jakarta, Tuesday, April 21.
Minola explained that the capital that Ruben had spent on the production of seasonal mukena was stuck in total. This ruined the business plan that Ruben had prepared long before Lebaran.
"Of course this disrupts cash flow, not only cash flow but disrupts Ruben's business plan. Because he has calculated that if this is the way it will be like this, it will disrupt all of Ruben's economic cycles," he explained.
Despite suffering a huge loss, Ruben Onsu has not officially made a police report. Currently, Ruben is still prioritizing a persuasive way through 'open summons' on social media so that the perpetrators appear.
"Ruben wants to go this way, hoping that people might be worried, afraid, feel guilty and finally contact Ruben or contact me. So that this problem can be solved without having to go through the authorities," said Minola.
This step was taken by Ruben considering the current legal mechanism which emphasizes peace or restorative justice. Ruben gives the opportunity for the perpetrator to restore his rights properly.
"If we look at the new criminal code mechanism, it does prioritize restorative justice. We will wait to see if in the next few days Philip has the good faith to take responsibility for his actions," he continued.
Ruben himself was surprised why he was so easily believed to transfer large amounts of money into Philipus' personal account for the sake of entertainment.
"He is now just realizing, he said 'I am also surprised, this is Bang's cooperation, why do I still want to transfer money to Philipus's personal account with the excuse of entertaining?'," said Minola, imitating his client's words.
Currently, Ruben is still waiting for the development after the upload. If there is no response, more decisive legal steps will be taken by the legal team.
"Until this moment there has been no communication or communication from the party. If Philipus contacts me, I will tell my friends how this matter ends," concluded Minola Sebayang.
