Indonesia plans to appeal a French court decision allowing the seizure of diplomatic assets related to Navayo International AG. The legal battle arose after a stalled satellite project led to a $16 million claim from Navayo. Indonesian officials argue the court’s decision violates international law regarding diplomatic immunity.
Indonesia intends to appeal a French court’s decision permitting the seizure of its diplomatic assets, associated with a case involving Navayo International AG, a technology firm based in Liechtenstein. This situation originated from a contract signed in 2016 between Indonesia’s Defense Ministry and Navayo for a satellite project, which subsequently stalled. Navayo subsequently initiated legal proceedings, claiming unpaid bills amounting to $16 million, and won the arbitration in Singapore, leading to the French court ruling.
In conclusion, Indonesia’s appeal aims to address the seizure of its diplomatic assets based on allegations of fraud against Navayo International AG. Indonesian officials, while expressing respect for the French court’s ruling, contend that the decision disregards diplomatic immunity as established by international conventions. The Indonesian government is also pursuing legal recourse against Navayo for fraud.
