Roeslan Roeslani emerges as surprise buyer of Inter Milan Sources close to Bumi said the company was close to suing Mr Roeslani for the missing money and, in light of the Inter Milan deal, would look very carefully at any other assets he may possess. London-listed Bumi, which plunged to a $2.4bn pre-tax loss in 2012, said earlier this year that it had found $152m of spending in 2012 and $49m in 2011 at Berau for which there was "no clear business purpose." Discovery of the missing funds, which were more than double the $94m flagged to the market in April, forced Bumi twice to delay the publication of its full-year results, leading to the suspension of the shares. It subsequently pursued Mr Roeslani for the money. Mr Roeslani resigned from the Bumi board last December after being outed by the Takeover Panel as a member of a shareholder concert party with Indonesia's Bakrie family that should have been disclosed. He then sold his 13.4pc stake. Bumi said scrutiny of more than 130 contracts at Berau had shown various payments the previous management had attributed to land compensation, road building and consultancy costs could not be verified and had been written off. Bumi's annual report also disclosed there had been "incomplete disclosure" by Mr Roeslani over his pay at Berau and that the board was pursuing "all means for the recovery of payments which should not have been made." The accounts show Mr Roeslani received more than $3.8m in 2011, five times the $700,000 previously disclosed, while also taking a $550,000 interest-free advance from Berau. Bumi also revealed that it was in dispute with him over more than $3m charged to the company for the use of his private jet. At the time Mr Roeslani's only comment was to say: "I will get clarification first from Bumi plc and I will get back to you." In June, Bumi said both the group and Berau "have agreed to waive potential claims that they may have against" Mr Roeslani on the condition he repays the agreed $173m. Bumi added at the time that Mr Roeslani had "made no admission of wrongdoing or liability." He could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
