JAKARTA. The Attorney General's Office (AGO) is under pressure to probe deeper into a dubious contract involving state-owned Hotel Indonesia Natour (HIN), Djarum Group and Grand Indonesia, after a former president director claimed two buildings currently standing tall on the Hotel Indonesia complex are illegal. Former HIN president director Aloysius Moerba Suseto, in response to AGO investigators' questions on Monday, said that Cipta Karya Bumi Indah (CKBI) built BCA Tower and the Kempinski apartments without confirmation from HIN as the land owner. "He said the two buildings – the office tower and the apartments – were built without permission from HIN. Ever since, HIN has sent letters asking for confirmation but [they have been] left unanswered," AGO junior attorney for special crimes Arminsyah told thejakartapost.com in Jakarta on Wednesday.
