The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) handed over replacement money installments from the former Head of the Bekasi City Housing, Settlement and Land Office (Kadis Perkimtan), Jumhana Luthfi Amin. As much as IDR 402 million was deposited.

"Executor Prosecutor Eva Yustitiana through the KPK financial bureau, has finished depositing into the state treasury the installments for replacement money from the convict Jumhana Luthfi Amin amounting to Rp402 million," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, January 9.

The KPK will continue to collect the remaining replacement money that Jumhana has to pay. He still has to pay another Rp200 million.

The anti-corruption commission confirmed that it would return the state losses incurred by Jumhana. "The entire criminal obligation to pay compensation is Rp600 million," he said.

"The replacement money from the convict is intended to maximize deposits into the state treasury from the proceeds of corruption," said Ali.

Jumhana became a suspect after the inactive Bekasi Mayor (Walkot) Rahmat Effendi or Pepen was caught in the KPK's arrest operation (OTT) in 2022 related to the bribery case for the procurement of goods and services as well as the auction of positions within the Bekasi City Government.

As a result of his actions, Jumhana was sentenced to 5 years in prison minus the period of detention.

Then, Jumhana was required to pay a fine of Rp250 million. Finally, he was also required to pay a replacement money of Rp600 million.
