JAKARTA - A number of lawyers who are the attorneys of the Indosurya Cooperative customers have joined in fighting for the payment of their clients who are customers of the Indosurnya Cipta Cooperative.

This was done because the lawyers felt called due to the large number of investment victims from the Indosur Cooperative who were currently in PKPU condition since April 29, 2020 at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court with case No. 66 / Pdt.Sus PKPU / 2020 / PN.Niaga. Jkt.Pst.

The lawyers, most of whom also work as curators, are concerned about the thousands of investment victims, most of whom are elderly parents. Based on information received from customers, the funds placed in the cooperative are money collected throughout their life for old age supplies.

Lawyers representing more than Rp. 2 trillion in investment argue that the Indosur case is a case that should be of serious concern to the government, because the losses suffered by customers of more than Rp. 14 trillion could destroy public confidence in the Indonesian financial industry.

"They see the government taking selective measures in handling similar cases. If in the Jiwasraya case the government seems fierce and very serious, but why does the Indosur Cooperative seem indifferent to the case. It can be said that no government official has ever discussed this case," said Salah. a customer lawyer, Leon Simanjuntak SH, in a statement received by VOI, Thursday, June 18.

Even the criminal reports of customers at the National Police Headquarters also seem to be running in place even though the police have named several suspects for the report.

"Even though the case seems to have not progressed well, as lawyers they will not remain silent, and in the near future they are planning to make a new report. Because according to them the police should be able to use another article to ensnare high-ranking Indosurya Cooperative officials and parties. others who are suspected of receiving benefits from customers' funds, "he continued.

The lawyers also requested that the Judicial Commission, Ombudsman and the Supreme Court play an active and serious role in overseeing the PKPU process for the Indosurya Cooperative. Based on their view, the PKPU process has been running inconsistent with the principles of bankruptcy law and PKPU.

"How is it possible for a debtor to provide legal counsel for some customers and ask the customer to agree to the peace scheme offered by the cooperative outside the PKPU process and to vote for the attorney offered," he said.

They are of the opinion that this is clearly a violation as referred to in Article 285 paragraph 2 letter c of Law no. 37/2004. Therefore the Supervisory Judge in the case should take a stand on this matter and the Court should not have ratified (homologated) the Indosurya Cooperative peace proposal.

Apart from the aforementioned matters, in the not too distant future they will file a lawsuit against Henry Surya, who is thought to have had a huge influence on the Indosurya Cooperative. All efforts will be made by these lawyers to return the funds of their clients.

"This is our conscience to talk about elderly mothers whose funds are not clear until now," he said.
