Gibran Supporters File Pretrial Challenge in Denny Indrayana Case
Gibran Rakabuming's supporters filed a pretrial challenge over a case involving Denny Indrayana at the South Jakarta District Court.
The case concerns a suspected corruption scheme involving an online passport service called Payment Gateway at Indonesia's Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
Indrayana was named a suspect in 2015, and his lawyer at the time denied that the project caused state losses, saying a 5,000-rupiah transaction fee had a legal basis.
Indrayana says he expected the case to be raised again after he pressed for action over questions about Gibran's educational certificate.
He describes the challenge as part of a backlash against critical voices, but that is his view.
He has formed a team called Insight, which includes former anti-corruption commission head Abraham Samad and legal experts.
Indrayana says he is ready to face the challenge, and no court decision on it is reported.

What people are saying
Efforts to raise, revisit and reveal the Payment Gateway issue were predictable. That was bound to happen.
To show that even if this is criminalization again, we are ready. It is part of the risks of the struggle.
Thank God, I have not received any offers, so do not worry about us.
