JAKARTA - Member of Commission XI DPR RI Masinton Pasaribu hopes that the judge's verdict will be able to seize all assets belonging to the President Director of PT Hanson International Benny Tjokrosaputro and Commissioner of PT Trada Alam Minera Heru Hidayat who are involved in the corruption case at PT Asuransi Jiwasraya.
According to this PDI-Perjuangan politician, there are millions of Jiwasraya customers who depend on their lives and future there. For that, their assets must be seized to replace their money.
"As much as possible, the looted assets can be pursued, because many Jiwasraya traditional customers hope for a better future. Please look at this, they should not be neglected, ”said Masinton in an online discussion entitled Jiwasraya Suspect Maximum Verdict, Thursday, October 22.
According to him, in a corruption case that resulted in the state losing Rp. 16.8 trillion, it was not enough for body confinement. This is so that the deterrent effect is felt as a result of the resulting systemic impact directly on the millions of people who become customers.
"So far, our judiciary usually suffers from corporal punishment, but has not been able to catch up with the losses of corruption. Including certainty for customers, fairness and benefit. Law enforcers must be able to pursue state losses as much as possible, "said the PDI-Perjuangan politician.
The Jiwasraya big scandal, according to Masinton, is an example of a structured, systematic and massive corruption scheme. This can be seen from the number of people involved in several sectors, from government officials and businessmen who are trying to flirt with rules.
"The Attorney General's Office must be able to trace all of this. Remember, there are millions of traditional customers, retirees and teachers who they expect guarantees from old age money, which is deposited in government insurance, "he said.
Meanwhile, Money Laundering Crime Expert (TPPU) Yenti Garnasih assessed that the joint action between Bentjok, Heru and four defendants who have been sentenced to life is expected to keep the integrity of the judges on the same path to give a similar verdict. However, the existence of additional articles of TPPU for Bentjo and Heru clearly needs to be another ballast.
"Impoverishment to the seizure of assets related to corruption must be pursued. And it is best if there is an economic crime, the prosecutor can immediately enter into the article on money laundering, "said Yenti.
Previously, the four defendants were the former Jiwasraya President Director, Hendrisman Rahim; Former Finance Director of PT AJS, Hary Prasetyo; Former Head of the Investment and Finance Division of PT AJS, Syahmirwan; and the Director of PT Maxima Integra, Joko Hartono Tirto, were all sentenced to life, especially for Hendrisman and Syahmirwan, the judge's verdict was far above the prosecutor's demands.
Meanwhile, the other two defendants, Benny Tjokrosaputro and Heru Hidayat, will only receive their verdicts on October 26, 2020. The postponement was carried out because both indicated that they had a Covid-19 cause.
Bentjok was charged by the public prosecutor with a life sentence with an additional penalty in the form of paying replacement money to the state in the amount of Rp.6,078.50,000,000 provided that within 1 month after the court decision has permanent legal force and the defendant does not pay the replacement money, his property is confiscated and auctioned off to cover replacement money.
Meanwhile, Heru Hidayat was charged with life imprisonment and a fine of Rp. 5 billion, a subsidiary for 1 year in prison on orders that the defendant remain in detention. Paid replacement money of 10 trillion 728 billion 783 million 375 thousand rupiah (Rp 10,728 trillion).
If the defendant Heru Hidayat does not pay replacement money within 1 month after the decision of the permanent court of law, the defendant's property can be confiscated by the prosecutor and in covering the replacement money.
