Bekasi, Saco-Indonesia.com — Asian Agri Group (AAG) menyatakan sanggup membayar denda pajak senilai Rp 2,5 triliun. Namun, atas dasar kelangsungan usaha, Kejaksaan Agung pun telah menyetujui pembayaran pertama Asian Agri sebesar Rp 719.955.391.304.
Jaksa Agung RI Basrief Arief di Kejaksaan Agung, Jakarta, Kamis (30/1/2014), mengatakan, kekurangan denda pajak akan dibayarkan dengan dicicil setiap bulan Rp 200 miliar. "Yang Rp 1,8 triliun lagi itu dibayar per bulan Rp 200 miliar dan akan berakhir bulan Oktober 2014. Ini yang sudah kita sepakati," kata Basrief.
Ia yakin Asian Agri patuh memenuhi cicilan. Hal itu lantaran, sebagai jaminan pembayaran cicilan tiap bulan, Asian Agri telah menjaminkan sebanyak 126 giro bilyet. Basrief mengatakan, jaminan sudah diserahkan ke Bank Mandiri. Ia menambahkan bahwa dirinya telah bertemu dengan Direktur Utama Bank Mandiri untuk memberikan atensi lebih pada kasus ini.
Saat ditanya perihal landasan hukum denda pajak bisa dicicil, Basrief mengatakan memang tidak ada dasar hukumnya. Ia justru meminta pakar asset recovery, Andi Lolo, yang juga hadir di Kejaksaan Agung pagi ini, untuk menjelaskan.
"Berkaitan masalah bisa dicicil, memang tidak ada ketentuan yang mengatur, tapi mungkin Pak Andi Lolo bisa menyampaikan pendapatnya. Yang jelas yang dilakukan jaksa kita sudah melakukan putusan," terang Basrief.
"Seperti yang saya katakan tadi, total nominal yang begitu besar pasti menimbulkan kerepotan sendiri. Bagaimanapun juga, perusahaan harus tetap jalan, ada 25.000 karyawan, dan 29.000 petani plasma. Yang penting negara dapat melaksanakan sesuai putusan itu," katanya.
Berdasarkan putusan MA No.2239K/PID.SUS/2012 tanggal 18 Desember 2012, Asian Agri dinyatakan kurang membayar pajak pada periode 2002-2005 senilai Rp 1,25 triliun dan denda Rp 1,25 triliun. Total yang harus dibayarkan Rp 2,5 triliun. Jika tidak dibayar hingga tenggat 1 Februari 2014, aset Asian Agri yang di antaranya 14 perusahaan kelapa sawit terancam disita.

saco-indonesia.com, Jose Mourinho telah menyebut bahwa Chelsea tampil amat seimbang di musim ini, terutama di lini belakang.
Chelsea musim ini telah menjadi tim yang paling sedikit kemasukan gol di Premier League. Dari 23 pertandingan yang telah mereka jalani, gawang The Blues baru 20 kali dibobol oleh lawan. Bandingkan dengan Manchester City, calon lawan mereka dini hari nanti, yang sudah kebobolan 26 gol.
"Saat ini tim kami juga bermain dengan baik dari sudut pandang pertahanan. Kami telah berhasil menemukan keseimbangan. Di sisi kiri, kami telah memiliki Eden, winger dengan tipikal menyerang yang sering bermain melebar.
"Kami telah mendapatkan stabilitas dengan Azpilicueta di belakangnya, sebagai seorang bek yang tangguh. Di sisi kanan sedikit berbeda karena kami telah memiliki seorang winger yang sering bermain lebih dalam dan bek kanan yang cenderung maju, jadi kami amat seimbang," pungkas sang manajer.
Chelsea saat ini berada di peringkat tiga klasemen sementara dengan selisih poin tiga atas Manchester City dan lima atas Arsenal.

From sea to shining sea, or at least from one side of the Hudson to the other, politicians you have barely heard of are being accused of wrongdoing. There were so many court proceedings involving public officials on Monday that it was hard to keep up.
In Newark, two underlings of Gov. Chris Christie were arraigned on charges that they were in on the truly deranged plot to block traffic leading onto the George Washington Bridge.
Ten miles away, in Lower Manhattan, Dean G. Skelos, the leader of the New York State Senate, and his son, Adam B. Skelos, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on accusations of far more conventional political larceny, involving a job with a sewer company for the son and commissions on title insurance and bond work.
The younger man managed to receive a 150 percent pay increase from the sewer company even though, as he said on tape, he “literally knew nothing about water or, you know, any of that stuff,” according to a criminal complaint the United States attorney’s office filed.
The success of Adam Skelos, 32, was attributed by prosecutors to his father’s influence as the leader of the Senate and as a potentate among state Republicans. The indictment can also be read as one of those unfailingly sad tales of a father who cannot stop indulging a grown son. The senator himself is not alleged to have profited from the schemes, except by being relieved of the burden of underwriting Adam.
The bridge traffic caper is its own species of crazy; what distinguishes the charges against the two Skeloses is the apparent absence of a survival instinct. It is one thing not to know anything about water or that stuff. More remarkable, if true, is the fact that the sewer machinations continued even after the former New York Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, was charged in January with taking bribes disguised as fees.
It was by then common gossip in political and news media circles that Senator Skelos, a Republican, the counterpart in the Senate to Mr. Silver, a Democrat, in the Assembly, could be next in line for the criminal dock. “Stay tuned,” the United States attorney, Preet Bharara said, leaving not much to the imagination.
Even though the cat had been unmistakably belled, Skelos father and son continued to talk about how to advance the interests of the sewer company, though the son did begin to use a burner cellphone, the kind people pay for in cash, with no traceable contracts.
That was indeed prudent, as prosecutors had been wiretapping the cellphones of both men. But it would seem that the burner was of limited value, because by then the prosecutors had managed to secure the help of a business executive who agreed to record calls with the Skeloses. It would further seem that the business executive was more attentive to the perils of pending investigations than the politician.
Through the end of the New York State budget negotiations in March, the hopes of the younger Skelos rested on his father’s ability to devise legislation that would benefit the sewer company. That did not pan out. But Senator Skelos did boast that he had haggled with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, in a successful effort to raise a $150 million allocation for Long Island to $550 million, for what the budget called “transformative economic development projects.” It included money for the kind of work done by the sewer company.
The lawyer for Adam Skelos said he was not guilty and would win in court. Senator Skelos issued a ringing declaration that he was unequivocally innocent.
THIS was also the approach taken in New Jersey by Bill Baroni, a man of great presence and eloquence who stopped outside the federal courthouse to note that he had taken risks as a Republican by bucking his party to support paid family leave, medical marijuana and marriage equality. “I would never risk my career, my job, my reputation for something like this,” Mr. Baroni said. “I am an innocent man.”
The lawyer for his co-defendant, Bridget Anne Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff to Mr. Christie, a Republican, said that she would strongly rebut the charges.
Perhaps they had nothing to do with the lane closings. But neither Mr. Baroni nor Ms. Kelly addressed the question of why they did not return repeated calls from the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J., begging them to stop the traffic tie-ups, over three days.
That silence was a low moment. But perhaps New York hit bottom faster. Senator Skelos, the prosecutors charged, arranged to meet Long Island politicians at the wake of Wenjian Liu, a New York City police officer shot dead in December, to press for payments to the company employing his son.
Sometimes it seems as though for some people, the only thing to be ashamed of is shame itself.
