Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Coordinating Minister for Political, Law and Security Affairs
Why should we take rotten goods?

The name of Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan came up 17 times in a recording that contains the efforts of House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Setya Novanto and businessman Muhammad Riza Chalid to obtain Freeport Indonesia shares. Unlike Vice President Jusuf Kalla who is seeking legal redress, Luhut allowed the use of his name. "I don't feel maligned. I feel it's just normal," he said. Luhut spoke to Tempo reporters Arif Zulkifli and Sunudyantoro, who met him at his office last Thursday about his involvement in the negotiations with Freeport.
