Alleged Unnatural Assets of Former Officials to be Reported to the KPK

JAKARTA - The alleged possession of unnatural wealth that dragged an ex-state official was reported to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today. The report was made by Azis Pangeran, a lawyer for the heirs.

"Our estimated estimated price could reach tens to hundreds of billions of rupiah. One of them is in Mataram, a tourist area in the form of hills that penetrate into the beach area," Azis told reporters after delivering a report at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, July 22.

Azis explained that his client was the son of a former prosecutor who had died. This figure is known to have married three times, while his second wife is a judge.

According to him, the assets that are now reported as belonging to the former prosecutor and former judge are the biological father and stepmother of his client.

As for his client, he still said Azis, knew the assets were fantastic after his biological father and stepmother died.

"The heirs saw that the amount of assets owned by their parents was not normal. There is a concern that these assets were obtained in an illegal manner, so we consulted and submitted an information report to the KPK," he explained.

Azis said the reported assets included a residential house in Sentul, West Java, with an area of about 400 square meters, a house in Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, with an area of 260 square meters, and a villa in Bogor with an area of about 1,200 square meters.

In addition, there is land of approximately 30,000 square meters in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, as well as land of approximately 2,900 square meters in Duren Sawit, East Jakarta.

"If the estimated price estimate is yes, if the estimated price is probably our guess, we can reach tens to hundreds of billions because if it is like in Mataram, there is a hill there and a beach, like that," he explained.

Through the report, Azis hopes that the KPK will verify all reported assets to ensure the origin of their acquisition.

If later assets are found that cannot be legally accounted for, he said, the follow-up is entirely handed over to the KPK.

"What about the acquired property that can no longer be accounted for. On the one hand, we consider that there is a state's right, there is a public right here, there is a government's right to the property left behind," he concluded.
