In 2007, Soeryo helped to broker an arms deal between Indonesia and Russia worth US$5 billion.
As part of the deal, Indonesia will purchase 16 Sukhoi SU-35 jet fighters, eight Sukhoi SU-30 jet fighters, eight Sukhoi Su-27 jet fighters, two secondhand submarines and several helicopters.
“A broker functions more or less in the same way as a lobbyist,” Soeryo said.“Their job is to assure the government that their product is the best on the market.”
“Only a few players know the tricks of the trade and have access to the kind of business that involves billions of dollars worth of transactions. In this business, if you can secure one deal, you won’t need to work for the rest of your life.”
But to secure that deal, a broker must go through the painstaking process of approaching decision-makers in the TNI and Defense Ministry and then taking care to ensure that they receive hefty commissions and are entertained.
