JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has deposited Rp1.6 billion in the state treasury from the auction proceeds of the former Head of the Housing and Settlement Funding Development Section at the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance of the Ministry of Finance, Yaya Purnomo.

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said the money was deposited by the KPK Executing Prosecutor, Andry Prihandono through the KPK Finance Bureau.

"KPK has deposited into the state treasury, namely money from the auction some time ago including various forms of gold from the convict Yaya Purnomo of Rp. 1.6 billion," Ali said in a written statement quoted Friday, April 8.

Ali ensured that his institution would continue to make deposits to the state treasury as a form of asset recovery.

This includes depositing money from the auction of confiscated assets by perpetrators of corruption and money laundering (TPPU).

"Gradually, the KPK will continue to make deposits to the state treasury, including money from the auction of looted goods to achieve optimal asset recovery from the proceeds of criminal acts of corruption and money laundering," he said.

It was previously reported that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) held auctions of assets seized from Yaya Purnomo several times. Most recently, this institution is auctioning houses to electronic goods.

Yaya has been sentenced to six years and six months in prison for being proven to have accepted bribes and gratuities related to the discussion of the Special DAK and Regional Incentive Funds in eight districts and cities.
