KPK Deposits IDR 848 Million To The State Treasury, IDR 486 Million Comes From Juliari Batubara's Former Subs

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has deposited hundreds of millions of rupiah into the state treasury. This deposit is part of an asset recovery effort.

"The execution prosecutor Andry Prihandono has deposited Rp848,324,100 into the state treasury as part of asset recovery," Acting Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Friday, January 21.

Ali said the money came from a number of inmates who are currently serving their sentences. A deposit of IDR 486,050,000 came from a former subordinate of the former Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Juliari Peter Batubara, Matheus Djoko Santoso.

Matheus is a former commitment-making official (PPK) at the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) who was caught in a corruption case of social assistance (bansos) for basic necessities related to the handling of COVID-19.

Furthermore, the convict Fathor Rachman, who is a former Division Head of PT Waskita Karya, deposited Rp300 million out of a total liability of Rp3,670,000,000. With the payment of hundreds of millions of rupiah, Fathor has paid the replacement money nine times so that his obligation now becomes Rp.2,650,000,000.

Finally, the KPK deposited Rp80,274,100 from the auction of looted goods belonging to the convict Syahrul Rajasampurnajaya et al. This activity was held on January 13 last.

Ali emphasized that his institution will continue to collect assets belonging to the convicts. In this way, asset recovery can be carried out optimally for the sake of income for the state treasury.

"Asset recovery from the proceeds of this corruption crime will still be collected and billed by the KPK as a form of commitment to provide as much income as possible for the state treasury," he concluded.
