The Attorney General's Office (AGO) is to question media mogul Hary Tanoesoedibjo and his brother Hartono Tanoesoedibjo over an allegation the two had pressured a businessman to sign documents relating to a graft scandal at the Justice and Human Rights Ministry.
Assistant attorney general for special crimes Marwan Effendy said PT Sarana Rekatama Dinamika (SRD) president director Yohanes Woworuntu confessed to signing the documents for an online administration system, currently at the center of an embezzlement case, under pressure from the two businessmen.
"Yohanes told us he had been forced to sign those documents (by Hartono and Hary). So we will confront them with his testimony, and compare it with theirs," Marwan said Sunday.
"The documents, including those for the online system, were all signed by Yohanes. We will find out who was influencing his actions all this time," he said.
Hartono, part-owner of SRD and a commissioner at Bhakti Investama where his older brother Hary sits as president commissioner, was questioned by the AGO last month. Bhakti Investama owns several media outlets in the country, including private TV stations RCTI, Global TV and TPI.
