Hasan Nasbi :
The charges are nothing but rumors

HASAN Nasbi uttered some threatening words when Tempo met him at his office in South Jakarta last Tuesday. The Cyrus Network CEO said he was uncomfortable being interviewed about the funds allegedly contributed by the land reclamation developers to the Friends of Ahok organization, reportedly channeled through his political consultancy agency. "It would be nice if you wrote that," he said, "so I can sue you after."

Hasan denied Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) politician Junimart Girsang's statement that he had received Rp30 billion. He did not react when Tempo told them that the information had reached the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), after one of his subordinates testified on April 15. Tempo reporters Anton Aprianto, Wayan Agus Purnomo and Prihandoko recently spoke to Hasan.
