Tomy Winata at Pengadilan Negeri Denpasar: A Case for Investor Legal Certainty
In December 2019, prominent Indonesian businessman Tomy Winata appeared as a witness at Pengadilan Negeri (PN) Denpasar in a case involving alleged fraud and false testimony by a well-known hotel group owner. Winata's public testimony addressed not just the specifics of his legal claim, but the broader principle of legal certainty for investors in Indonesia.
"We are not here only to claim what is owed to us," Winata stated in court, "but to demonstrate that Indonesia offers genuine legal certainty to every investor." He expressed hope that the outcome would serve as a guarantee of security and justice — particularly in Bali — for both domestic and international investors.
This case reflects a broader truth that our firm sees regularly: legal certainty is not a passive condition. It is achieved through active legal advocacy.
