KUPANG - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagun) has arrested a convict in the corruption case of bad credit at the Kupan Branch of NTT Bank, Linda Liudianto (47) who has been on the run since 2020.

"The convict was arrested by the Attorney General's Office team on Friday while in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta," said Head of the Legal Information Section of the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Prosecutor's Office, Abdul Hakim, in Kupang, as quoted by Antara, Sunday, August 14.

According to Abdul, the convict Linda Liudianto was declared a fugitive since October 2020 after the NTT Prosecutor's Office received the Supreme Court Decision Number 3128 K/Pid.Sus/20220 dated October 8, 2020.

The convict was declared legally and convincingly guilty of committing a criminal act of corruption worth Rp. 5 billion in the 2018 NTT Bank bad credit case.

According to the verdict, the convict Linda Liudianto as the Attorney Director of PT Cipta Eka Putri was sentenced to eight years in prison and obliged to pay a fine of IDR 200 million subsidiary to six months in prison.

In addition, the convict is also required to pay compensation for state financial losses in the amount of Rp. 10,192,784,965.

Abdul Hakim explained that the NTT Prosecutor's Office had repeatedly summoned the convict Linda to be executed for the verdict, but Linda was always absent.

"Calls have been made repeatedly but have not come, so it is included in the list of wanted people (DPO) of the NTT Provincial High Prosecutor's Office," explained Abdul.

The team from the NTT Prosecutor's Office was in Jakarta to pick up the convict Linda to be brought to Kupang to serve her sentence.

"We are still waiting for information from the team to Jakarta regarding the certainty of when the convicts will be brought to Kupang," he said.
