MATARAM - The East Lombok District Attorney's Office (Lotim), West Nusa Tenggara, received a substitute money deposit worth Rp500 million from one of the defendants in the alleged corruption case for the procurement of Chromebooks at the East Lombok Education and Culture Office.

Head of the Intelligence Section of the East Lombok District Attorney's Office, Ugik Ramantyo, said the deposit of the state's financial loss was from the defendant Salmukin as the Director of CV Cerdas Mandiri.

"The public prosecutor received the bequest through the intermediary of the defendant's family," Ugik said in an official statement received in Mataram, Antara, Wednesday, February 18.

The money was then deposited by the public prosecutor into a savings account belonging to the East Lombok District Attorney's Office.

"The public prosecutor will later use this deposit to cover additional penalties in the form of compensation payments that will be imposed on the defendant," he said.

Ugik explained that the substitute money in the corruption case was an additional crime that required the defendant to pay back a certain amount of money obtained from the results of corruption. The value is based on the amount of state financial losses.

"If it is not paid within one month after the final and binding decision, the convicted person's property can be confiscated and auctioned or replaced with imprisonment," he said.
