AN Indonesian court ruled against Goldman Sachs Group Inc and ordered it to return shares of PT Hanson International to its founder Benny Tjokrosaputro.

Goldman must pay 320.8 billion rupiah (S$32 million) in material damages to Mr Tjokrosaputro for an "illegal transaction" of Hanson shares, Judge Achmad Guntur said in the South Jakarta District Court on Tuesday. The judge also rejected a US$1 billion counterclaim the US bank filed last year against a lawsuit by Mr Tjokrosaputro, in which he alleged that the firm's stake in Hanson, a property developer, was improperly obtained.
