The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confiscated an amount of IDR 48.5 billion in connection with the alleged bribery case involving the inactive Regent of Labuhanbatu Erik A Ritonga. The money is taken either in physical form or stored in a bank account.
Ali Fikri, spokesperson for KPK enforcement, stated that the investigative team had confiscated cash and funds held in various bank accounts, totaling IDR 48.5 billion. However, Ali did not provide details regarding the identities of the people who were Erik A Ritonga’s confidants.
“The money was spread across various bank accounts, one of which was in the name of the suspect EAR (Erik A Ritonga),” said Ali.
Several accounts that have been confiscated are currently in blocked status, and the execution of the money will await the trial verdict in this bribery case.
“The hope is that the confiscated money will later be decided by the panel of judges at the corruption crime court to be confiscated by the state in order to recover assets,” added Ali. (Z-10)
