The payments included Rp61.7 billion in Singapore dollars. Prosecutors also listed luxury entertainment and high-end goods worth Rp1.8 billion.
The company allegedly made the payments in eight installments. Prosecutors said PT Blueray Cargo owner John Field, Operations Manager Deddy Kurniawan Sukolo, and Document Team Head Andri provided the money.
