Prosecutors Encounter Constraints in Filing for Appeal in Merpati Case

TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:   Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Andhi Nirwanto says he has found it difficult to file a plea in a graft case involving state airline company Merpati Nusantara Airlines, which implicated defendant Hotasi Nababan.

Andhi said the Jakarta Antigraft Court had hampered the process. We haven't received Hotasi's verdict, said Andhi, met at Harris Hotel in Tebet, South Jakarta, on Wednesday, March 13.

Andhi said he has sent a letter requesting a copy of the verdict but has not received a response. Andhi claimed the letter was essential for prosecutors to prepare an appeal to the Supreme Court.

The attorney general office's deadline for the appeal is early next week, on Monday, March 18. If the appeal is filed past the due date, it will not be accepted, said Andhi.
