SURABAYA - The rescue of state money by the East Java High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) throughout 2021 reached Rp1.55 trillion, up from 2020 which was Rp697.18 billion.

Dhofir, at the East Java Attorney General's Office in Surabaya. , Friday, December 31.

Dhofir said that there were three areas of state assets that were rescued with a total area of 2,032 square meters.
