KPK Reveals Auction Of Corruptor Property Assets 'Single Interest'

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed the lack of public interest in bidding on property assets looted by corruptors. The KPK Execution Prosecutor said that the high limit value was the main reason for the low absorption of immovable goods.

The KPK Execution Prosecutor, Sarkyah, admitted that property assets looted by corruptors, such as land, buildings, and apartments, were still difficult to sell.

"The interest in immovable items consisting of land, land and buildings, to apartments, is still of great value, still low due to their high limit value," said Sarkyah in an official statement from the institution, Monday (6/10).

At the auction which was held simultaneously on September 17, the KPK noted that only 7 lots of property assets sold out of a total of 41 lots were offered.

"Hopefully at the next auction, these large-value assets can be sold," he said.

Even though the property was empty of interest, the KPK managed to deposit Rp. 8 billion into the state treasury as part of recovering state losses from the auction.

The value of Rp. 8 billion came from the sale of 36 lots of movable goods worth Rp. 3.2 billion and 7 lots of property (mobile goods) worth Rp. 4.8 billion.

Sarkiyah explained that in the category of mobile goods, cellphones and jewelry remain the prima donna of the auction participants.

"A dragon-shaped ring and bracelet have already been sold," he said.

On the other hand, moving goods that have the same fate as property are unique items such as robots, face recognition, and tableau, as well as two cars auctioned at KPKNL Samarinda.

Last September's auction was held simultaneously at 11 State Property and Auction Service Offices (KPKNL). The KPK plans to hold a follow-up auction in December 2025 along with the celebration of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia).

"By participating in the KPK auction, the community will contribute significantly to the recovery of state financial losses," concluded Sarkiah.
