VIVAnews - The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) will send a special team to handle the confiscation of assets belonging to Eduardus Cornelis William Neloe, the defendant in Bank Mandiri’s corruption case. The decision was made following the revocation of Neloe’s bank account on May 18.
“The team will be leaving for Switzerland in early June”, Deputy of AGO, Agung Muchtar Arifin told reporters on Wednesday, May 27.
During their times in Switzerland, the team will be coordinating with local authorities in handling the case that involves Neloe’s bank account which was blocked by the Swiss government.
Earlier, the Swiss Federal Prosecutor issued an official verdict to confiscate Neloe’s assets. However, the Swiss law allows Neloe to file an appeal.
If Neloe decides to do so, Arifin said that the final process of confiscation will take four to six months.
In 2007, the defendant in Bank Mandiri’s debt case to PT Cipta Graha Nusantara (CPN) was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment by the Supreme Court. Since mid-2005, Neloe’s account in Deutsche Bank, Switzerland, had been blocked.
