The actions of the defendants have resulted in reduced profits that should have been obtained by PT Waskita Karya, Tbk as a state-owned enterprise resulting in state losses," added prosecutor Ronald.

While the lightening in the actions of the accused is that the defendants are polite and have never been convicted.

"Specifically defendant I Desi Arryani has returned all the money from the crime that he enjoyed which amounted to Rp3.415 billion. As for defendant II Fathor Rahman, defendant III Jarot Subana, defendant IV Fakih Usman and defendant V Yuly Ariandi Siregar the public prosecutor argued it should be charged to pay additional criminal how much replacement money because the defendants have not returned the money from the corruption crimes enjoyed," said the prosecutor.

Division II of PT Waskita Karya is tasked to carry out construction work / large-scale infrastructure projects that are above Rp100 million using high technology and its working area covers the whole of Indonesia with projects including the construction of airports, bridges, toll roads, normalization of rivers, dams and ports.

The defendants then agreed to raise "non budgeter" funds by contracting the work of fictitious subcontractors attached to the main projects undertaken by PT Waskita Karya which would later pay for the works to the fictitious subcontractor companies to be returned (cash back) to PT Waskita Karya.

Designated fictitious subcontractor companies are given a "fee" of borrowing a flag of 1.5-2.5 percent of the contract value.

To facilitate the administrative process, especially 'cash back' to the Civil Division, defendant I Desi Arryani proposed that the Civil Division 'borrow the flag' of subcontractor companies owned by officials / employees of PT Waskita Karya (Persero).

Furthermore, the staff / head of the administrative section of the project contract makes the completeness of procurement of work in accordance with the contract drafted, but no procurement process is carried out, only as a completeness of the administration of the contract, namely the price quote, news of the clarification event and comparison data.

Payment is used through the issuance of cash checks and transfers to the accounts of subcontractors.

In 2009- May 2011 has signed 21 fictitious subcontractor employment contracts attached to 14 major employment contracts carried out by PT Waskita Karya Persero. Furthermore, there are still 20 more fictitious subcontractor employment contracts filed during June 2011-August 2013.
