The Central Jakarta District Attorney (Kejari) handed over Rp. 51.1 billion in confiscated money to the state treasury in the case of falsifying documents and money laundering of Bank BCA by the convict Leo Chandra.

However, in 2018, there was a bad credit of Rp209.8 billion. In addition, there is also a record of financing but the record is fictitious so that it cannot be billed and the suspect cannot show the financing contract document that is used as collateral.
