JAKARTA, KOMPAS – After losing their chance on 8 June 2020, law enforcement apparatuses will again have an opportunity on Monday to arrest Joko, who is a fugitive in the corruption case related to the transfer (cession) of Bank Bali’s debt collection rights. The fugitive, who was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison, is scheduled to attend the first hearing of his case review at the South Jakarta District Court.

The first hearing was originally scheduled for last Monday. However, Joko did not attend the hearing, citing illness, and the court adjourned the hearing and rescheduled it for today. Joko\'s attendance at court is mandatory according to Supreme Court Circular No. 1/2012, which stipulates that the plaintiff of a case review must be present at court. The plaintiff in this case is Joko Tjandra.
