Emirsyah Satar: I Have Never Taken Bribes

As soon as he was indicted and accused of receiving bribes from Rolls-Royce, Emirsyah Satar pulled a disappearing act. Tempo visited his South Jakarta residence at Kebayoran Lama on two different days but he was not around on both occasions. Eko, a security guard, said the former Garuda Indonesia CEO had not returned home.

Emirsyah's attorney Luhut Pangaribuan responded to Tempo's request for an interview, saying that his client refused to be interviewed. "Emirsyah Satar is not feeling well enough to speak directly to the press," Luhut said last week.
