A McDonald’s franchisee in Indonesia is suing the American fast food chain for $105.5m for allegedly selling 97 outlets and their operations in the country in violation of the law and their agreements.

Lawyers representing Bambang Rachmadi, who has been a franchisee since 1991, said he was seeking $5.5m in material losses and $100m in immaterial losses after the assets were sold for $20m to Rekso Nasional Food, a subsidiary of the Sosro Group, which makes Indonesia’s most popular soft drink, a bottled tea.
