JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta District Court (Jakpus) is hearing the lawsuit of PT Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada Tbk (CMNP) against the founder and owner of the MNC Group Hary Iswanto Tanoesoedibjo alias Harry Tanoe.

In the trial chaired by Chief Justice Fajar Kusuma Aji, PT CMNP demanded material compensation of Rp. 103 trillion and imateriel worth Rp. 16 trillion for Tanoe's unlawful act in exchange transactions to exchange securities of Deposito Deposit Certificate (Negotiable Certificate of Deposit/NCD) in 1999.

"The large demand for compensation will continue to increase until the following compensation is paid in full," said PT CMNP's legal adviser, Primarditya Wirasan in a hearing on the report on the reading of the lawsuit call reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 13.

Apart from Hary Tanoe, PT CMNP, a company owned by businessman Jusuf Hamka, sued PT MNC Asia Holding (defendant II), Tito Sulistio (defendant III), and Teddy Kharsadi (defenst IV).

Furthermore, said Primaditya, the lawsuit was filed because the alleged unlawful act in the exchange of NCD securities that could not be disbursed had caused losses to PT CMNP of around Rp103 trillion.

He emphasized that PT CMNP rejected mediation efforts and continued the lawsuit because Hary Tanoe failed to fulfill the request in the mediation process.

Not only that, it was said that PT CMNP also filed a guarantee confiscation of all assets of Harry Tanoe and PT Bhakti Investama or now known as PT MNC Asia Holding so that the lawsuit from PT CMNP was not in vain.

Based on his team's search, said Primarditya, Harry Tanoe's total assets were IDR 15.6 trillion and MNC Group's total assets were IDR 18.98 trillion.

"The estimated value of these assets is also estimated to be insufficient to pay compensation to PT CMNP, so that we are currently also in the process of being inventory of other assets," he said.

Primaditya explained that since March 5, 2025, PT CMNP has also reported allegations of criminal acts related to several securities that cannot be disbursed to the Polda Metro Jaya.

PT CMNP, he continued, reported allegations of making and/or using fake letters, in this case fake NCD, as well as money laundering (TPPU).

Currently, it is stated that the report is being investigated by investigators at Polda Metro Jaya, with potential suspects Hary Tanoe and there may be several other parties involved.

"In its petitum, PT CMNP asked the court to declare the legal confiscation of assets belonging to Hary Tanoe and PT MNC Asia Holding as legal guarantees," he said.

It was explained that PT CMNP stated that the lawsuit was filed in order to obtain legal certainty over the exchange of securities exchanged in 1999 with the defendant.

He revealed that the case began with securities transactions involving PT CMNP with Hary Tanoe and PT MNC Asia Holding in 1999. At that time Hary Tanoe offered CMNP to exchange his NCD for MTN (Medium Term Note) and PT CMNP's Phase II bonds.

However, it was said that the NCD from Hary Tanoe could not be disbursed on August 22, 2002 or 20 years before it matured. At that time, the NCD publisher bank owned by Hary Tanoe, Unibank, was designated as a Frozen Bank for Business Activities (BBKU) in October 2001.
