Samadikun's assets cannot be immediately confiscated:
AG
The
arrest of Samadikun Hartono, a graft convict who was on the lam for 13 years,
cannot be immediately followed by the confiscation of his assets to recover the
state losses triggered by his case, Attorney General HM Prasetyo has said.
"What's
important for us is to arrest the person first. After that, we will communicate
with him," Prasetyo said on the sidelines of a hearing with House
Commission III overseeing legal affairs in Jakarta on Thursday.
The attorney general could not state when the
losses reaching some Rp 169 billion (US$12.9 million) could be recovered, but
he said “he had a plan in mind” to recover the assets. He refused, however, to
explain details.
Meanwhile,
Loeke Larasati, head of the AGO's Asset Recovery Center (PPA), emphasized that
asset confiscation was a technical matter and involved the verification of
assets.
The PPA will confiscate the assets after there's a handover of the
technical matter to her
office. Loeke does not know when the PPA will be authorized to handle the
issue. "We will not interfere with the process. The executor is the
prosecutor," Loeke said.
Samadikun,
a former Bank Modern president commissioner, fled the country in 2003 to avoid
imprisonment. He arrived at Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport in
East Jakarta on
Thursday night. He
was arrested last week, but could not
be flown to Jakarta until Thursday because of the deportation process.
His
arrest was the result of cooperation between the Indonesian and Chinese governments,
said the director of the National Intelligence Agency (BIN) on Sunday during
his visit to Germany alongside President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo.
Samadikun went on the lam after a Supreme Court ruling sentenced him to four years
in prison for misusing Bank Indonesia liquidity support (BLBI) funds for Bank
Modern.
Samadikun's Bank Modern went bankrupt during the
1997 monetary crisis. The funds were part of Rp 145.5 trillion in loans
disbursed by BI in 1998 to help 48 troubled banks during the crisis. Ninety-five
percent of the loans were embezzled.
According
to the AGO's website, Samadikun
lived in a luxury apartment in Singapore
and still owned film studios in Vietnam and China while he was on the run.
