JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) said that it was very careful in tracing Benny Tjokrosaputro's assets. This is because some of the assets that have been confiscated so far are related to the property business.

"We have to be careful, we still have Benny Tjokro or other private property belonging to the property business," said the Director of Investigation at the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, to reporters, Tuesday, March 9.

This was also proven by the confiscation of 179 hectares of land in Bogor Regency. The land is a collaboration between Benny Tjokro and Tan Kian.

On this basis, the investigation of Benny Tjokro's assets must be carried out carefully. So, later on, the status of the assets allegedly related to the PT Asabri corruption case will be clear.

"There are several assets that must be explored and identified whose ownership is between Benny Tjokro and other parties," said Febrie.

"Like Tan Kian, working together in Bogor Regency, it turns out that there are several parties besides Benny Tjokro, there are 3-4 parties," he continued.

Previously it was reported that the AGO had confiscated hundreds of hectares of land linked to the suspect Benny Tjokrosaputro. The existence of the land was discovered after an examination of the Chief of KSO Duta Regency Karunia Metropolitan Tan Kian.

"So for Tan Kian the examination can be 179 hectares in Bogor Regency," said Febrie.

"But it is related to Benny Tjokro who is in control of the business with Tan Kian," he continued.

Febrie said investigators had found evidence of a connection between the business relationship between Bentjok and the businessman. That reason was used to confiscate hundreds of hectares of the land.

"Yes, the cooperation between Benny Tjokro and him (Tan Kian) was for the purchase of land. So yes, we consider that it is still related to the ownership of Benny Tjokro which we confiscated," said Febrie.
