The special criminal field (Pidsus) succeeded in handling cases with state losses reaching Rp152.2 trillion as part of the celebration of the 63rd Adhyaksa Bhakti Day.

The Head of the Indonesian Attorney General's Office, Ketut Sumedana, conveyed this information in a written statement in Jakarta on Saturday. This value is the result of a number of cases that have been handled by the Special Investigation Division since last year until now.

"In that period, the total state losses that were successfully handled reached IDR 152.247 trillion and 61.948.551 US dollars," he said.

Several major corruption cases are currently being handled by the Pidsus ranks of the Attorney General's Office, such as the BTS 4G infrastructure development project of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology worth IDR 8.32 trillion, as well as corruption in CPO exports or cooking oil worth IDR 6.47 trillion.

Not only that, there were also corruption cases handled the previous year which were still in the process of legal action, such as the case of Duta Palma Group, Jiwasraya, LPEI, and others.

Ketut also added that the Special Investigation Division of the Attorney General's Office had completed 3,397 cases at the execution stage, and 3,923 cases at the prosecution stage. In addition, 2,117 cases have been resolved in the investigation stage.

During this period, the total state losses that were successfully handled included several things, namely: first, the return of state financial losses of Rp42.70 trillion and 61.948.551 US dollars.
