Difficult to Meet Ustaz Yusuf Mansur, 3 Indonesian Migrant Workers Take Legal Action

"Our clients were invited to a religious gathering. Then the preacher talked about the values of charity. Then he offered an investment in land funds and they were interested," said Asfa Davy Bya, the plaintiff's attorney at the Tangerang District Court, on Tuesday (28/1/2022) to KapanLagi reporter.

Then all three clients deposited a certain amount of funds to jointly purchase land at a price of Rp. 2.2 million per square meter through the cooperative specified by Yusuf Mansur, namely Koperasi Merah Putih.

However, after that, the three plaintiffs were disappointed. Because, what Yusuf Mansur said at that time was not as expected.

"The invested money that has been deposited is unclear in its management and they also do not know the location of the purchased land. That's why this needs to be questioned," said Asfa Davy.

The three migrant workers also tried to contact Ustaz Yusuf Mansur to ask for an explanation. However, Yusuf Mansur is difficult to reach. Moreover, to meet.

As a result, the three of them took legal steps by suing Yusuf Mansur civilly.

"So after they invested, they were given a website, email, and phone number. But there was no response. Until they asked for a meeting and sent a summons, but it was not responded to," said Asfa.

Asfa Davy further hopes that the judge will grant his lawsuit so that Yusuf Mansur is willing to return the investment money that his client has deposited and also the promised profit.

"We hope the panel of judges declares UYM guilty of illegal acts and returns the principal investment money and its profit, as well as the immaterial losses," said Asfa.

Tangerang District Court has held the first trial on the third lawsuit of the three migrant workers on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.

In the first trial, the Panel of Judges attempted mediation between the plaintiff and defendant.
