Bakries urge Panel to move on Bumi affair
The Bakrie brothers have broadened their campaign against the troubled coal miner they helped set up  with financier Nat Rothschild, saying the “Bumi affair”  had damaged London’s reputation with emerging market investors. Bumi has been riven with conflict since it was created in November 2010 when the Bakries reversed some of their Indonesian coal mining assets into financier Nat Rothschild’s London-listed cash shell. The Takeover Panel ruled in December that there had been improper disclosure about the relationship between two key shareholders, the Bakrie brothers and Rosan Roeslani, and that they had been acting “in concert”.

Bumi’s founders, one-time partners financier Nat Rothschild and Indonesia’s powerful Bakrie family, have been at loggerheads for months over the future of one of the world’s top thermal coal exporters, locked in an increasingly bitter battle.
