KPK / VOI

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has deposited Rp12.5 billion in the state treasury. The money came from the convicted former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Imam Nahrowi.

This deposit of money into the state treasury is the implementation of the decision of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number: 485 K/Pid. Sus/2021 dated March 15, 2021 in conjunction with the Decision of the Corruption Court at the DKI Jakarta High Court Number: 30/PID.SUS-TPK/2020/PT DKI. JKT dated October 8, 2020 in conjunction with the Corruption Court Decision at the Central Jakarta District Court Number: 9/Pid.Sus/TPK/2020/PN. Jkt. Pst dated June 29, 2020.

"The implementation of this decision is by making a deposit to the state treasury in the form of looted money in the amount of Rp. 12.5 billion," said Acting Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, to reporters, Friday, May 4.

Ali Fikri said this was done as a form of returning assets from the corruption crime committed by Imam Nahrawi.

"Depositing the stolen money into the state treasury is a real commitment to the implementation of asset recovery from the proceeds of corruption," he said.

It was previously reported that Imam Nahrawi was subject to an additional penalty in the form of paying a replacement money of Rp. 19,154,203,882. If this money is not paid within one month after the court's decision is declared inkracht, his property will be confiscated and auctioned.

This National Justice Party (PKB) politician is currently serving a 7-year criminal sentence in Sukamiskin Prison, Bandung, West Java.

This was done after being convicted in a corruption case in the provision of Kemenpora grant funds to KONI and a gratuity of Rp. 8.3 billion.
