Hajj pilgrims victims of cranes in Mecca canceled receive compensation, while the compensation never liquid
The Saudi court ruled that the Binladen Group did not have to pay compensation to hundreds of pilgrims from various countries who were victims of a crane or heavy equipment crash at the Grand Mosque in Mecca in 2015.
But the government said the judge's decision earlier this week did not affect compensation for Indonesian citizens who become victims.
Indonesia's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Agus Maftuh Abegebriel, called the court's verdict not to have any effect on the plan for aid.
"This verdict is different and has nothing to do with the compensation prepared by King Salman," Agus said.
Citing the prevailing legal system in Saudi Arabia, Agus said, if Binladen Group is found guilty, the heirs of incidents of heavy equipment incidents may determine the nominal of compensation.
But that provision will not apply after the appearance of the court decision.
Meanwhile, for the compensation fund comes from the royal government of Saudi Arabia.
Referring to the memorandum, Saudi Arabia promised compensation of one million riyals or about Rp3, 5 billion to the deaths and victims of the record due to collapse crane belonging to Binladen Group.
Meanwhile, the victims of both serious and light injuries were pledged as much as 500 thousand riyals or Rp1, 75 billion.
Mastuki said the problem had arisen when the number of victims from Saudi Arabia and Kemenag different. But he made sure both countries had agreed on the same number.
Based on verification Kemenag, 12 pilgrims from Indonesia died in the incident. There are also two victims of permanent records and 47 other pilgrims from Indonesia who suffered severe and minor injuries.
When confirmed about the deadline for disbursement of compensation or compensation, Ambassador Agus Maftuh called the Saudi Arabian government did not specify a certain deadline.
Agus said, all the procedures for providing compensation has actually been completed.
"We are just waiting for the disbursement scheme, whether through the Embassy or the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Jakarta," he said.
According to the Saudi Gazette report, the English-language mass media in Saudi Arabia, the court decided Binladen Group did not have to pay compensation because there was no corporate fault in the falling crane incident.
The same argument was also used by the local courts to free dozens of heavy equipment operators working during the incident.
The incidents of heavy equipment in the Grand Mosque occurred in the midst of storms and heavy rains that hit Mecca, September 2015. Local authorities claimed total death toll at the event amounted to 107 people.
When Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz met President Joko Widodo in Jakarta, March 2017, the victims urged the Indonesian government to urge the disbursement of compensation as soon as possible.
But the State Palace said the issue was not discussed by the two leaders and became a ministerial affair.
