JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has deposited billions of rupiah into the state treasury. This deposit is a replacement money installment from the convicts in the bribery case that ensnared former North Penajam Paser (PPU) Regent Abdul Gafur Mas'ud.

"Executor Prosecutor Andry Prihandono, through the KPK's financial bureau, has deposited Rp2.2 billion into the state treasury from the payment of replacement money and the looted money of the convict Abdul Gafur Mas", said the Head of the KPK News Section, Ali Fikri, to reporters, Thursday, November 24.

Ali detailed that Abdul Gafur had handed over Rp1.5 billion and still had to pay Rp4.1 billion. Next, former Acting Secretary of PPU Mulyadi handed over Rp11 million as a substitute for his criminal payment and less than Rp410 million.

Then, former Head of the PPU Regency PUPR Service, Edi Hasmoro, handed over Rp55 million as a substitute punishment. His payment sentence is now less than Rp557 million.

Furthermore, the KPK also deposited money from the confiscated evidence amounting to Rp. 60 million. Ali said this kind of deposit would continue.

He said, the anti-corruption commission continues to strive so that the return of state losses can be carried out. The collection of obligations for the convicts will continue to be carried out.

"KPK continues to collect the obligation to replace the replacement money of the corruption convicts as an effort to maximize asset recovery," he concluded.
