JAKARTA - A criminal law expert from Trisakti University, Abdul Fickar Hadjar, believes that there will be a deterrent effect after the Attorney General's Office and SOE Minister Erick Thohir massively clean up SOEs. After Erick reported, the AGO confirmed that it would make the alleged corruption case of pension funds (Dapen) managed by four state-owned companies, as a priority they would investigate.

"That's right, I believe there will be a deterrent effect after the report," said Fickar, Friday, October 6.

Fickar explained, by cleaning up this SOE, the directors or management of other state-owned companies will be afraid to practice corruption. That way, it is hoped that similar cases will not happen in other state-owned companies. Erick Thohir's move to report the case to the Attorney General's Office is correct.

Previously, Erick, who was based on a number of surveys referred to as the strongest vice presidential candidate, reported four state-owned companies for alleged corruption in the management of dapen to the AGO on Tuesday, October 3. The four companies are PT Inhutani, PT Angkasa Pura I, PT Perkebunan Nusantara or PTPN, and ID Food.

Before making the report, Erick had asked the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) to audit the management of the four companies. As a result, there was a state loss of Rp. 300 billion.

Erick Thohir's collaboration with the AGO in cleaning up SOEs has so far produced positive results. A number of corruption cases worth hundreds of billions of rupiah have been successfully processed by law. Starting from the Jiwasraya case, ASABRI, Taspen, and so on.
