BLBI Task Force On The Died Obligor: We Pursue His Legacy!

JAKARTA – Chairman of the Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance Task Force (BLBI) Rionald Silaban does not deny that there are obligors/debtors who have died. According to him, this could have happened considering that the BLBI case had occurred 22 years ago, or to be precise, during the 1998 economic crisis.

"I don't remember one by one the obligors who have died, but indeed there are some of them who have died," he said in a webinar, Friday, September 10.

However, Rionald ensured that the government would not stop and would continue to use its maximum efforts to restore the country's rights.

"This does not close the government's collection rights," he said.

Furthermore, the subordinates of the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani also said that they would investigate the use of BLBI funds that have been used by the obligor and debtor. In fact, he explained that this step includes exploring assets that may have been controlled by his descendants.

"We will pursue his heir or his legacy," said Rionald.
