JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD met with the Chairman of the DPD, La Nyalla Mattalitti. Mahfud complied with the invitation regarding the development of the handling of the BLBI case.

"DPD RI in accordance with its functions and authorities to participate in supervising the running of a clean government, eradicating KKN, enforcing the law and so on, earlier invited me as the head of the BLBI task force, DPD RI also invited a resource person named Mr. Sasmito," said Mahfud MD at the DPR building, Thursday, December 2nd.

Mahfud said that Sasmito and DPD had a large record of BLBI debt, the amount was not only Rp. 110 billion, but it was suspected that it was more than Rp. 400 billion.

"Some say it's up to IDR 400 (billion), some say it's up to 1,000 and so on. That's good I say, but the BLBI Task Force only collects what's in the civil agreement that was ratified by the DPR first, which was ratified by the Supreme Court. The issue of Presidential Instruction 8/2002 is that the Supreme Court's deed is valid, meaning this is what we are billing for," he said.

If there are other findings, said Mahfud, then it is a criminal matter. So that it is no longer the authority of the BLBI Task Force.

"The collection rights task force is civil, the name is also a civil collection right. If the task force forms the corruptors, it's just a crime, because our task force collects them," he explained.

"But this must be a lesson, to debtors and obligors, remember, remember that what is being billed from you is far less than what people normally know, DPD knows, that you should pay more than that, the period is billed in accordance with Is it on the record that you still want to be absent?" he said.
