JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confiscated assets belonging to the inactive Probolinggo Regent Puput Tantriana Sari, suspected of being involved in money laundering (TPPU). The total assets reached Rp104.8 billion.

"The process of collecting evidence by the investigative team in the alleged money laundering offense case with PTS suspects and friends continues to grow. Thus, all assets that have economic value have an estimated total value of Rp. 104.8 billion," said Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Enforcement. Ali Fikri through a written statement, Tuesday, August 2.

Ali said the seized assets were diverse. These include land and buildings, gold, cash, and motorized vehicles.

"The discovery of these assets involves the Asset Tracking Team unit at the Directorate of Asset Tracking, Evidence Management and Execution (Labuksi) at the Deputy for Enforcement of the KPK," he said.

Later, the seized assets will be investigated. So, investigators at trial can prove if the purchase came from money from corruption.

"When this case is brought to trial, of course the KPK prosecutor team will prove that the property in question is allegedly related to the case so that they demand that it be confiscated for the state," said Ali.

"The investigative team is also continuing to collect evidence, including asking for information from various parties as witnesses," he continued.

Going forward, the KPK is committed to maximizing efforts to recover assets. There are various steps that will be taken ranging from criminal fines to the seizure of assets.

"So this asset recovery becomes income for the state treasury which can later be used as a source of financing for national development, the benefits of which will certainly return to the people," said Ali.
