The South Jakarta Prosecutor's Office dispatched Monday a team to Bank Permata headquarters in South Jakarta to confiscate Rp 546 billion (US$54.6 million) in assets from graft convict Djoko Soegiarto Tjandra at the bank.Five prosecutors, under by South Jakarta chief prosecutor Setya Untung Arimuladi, arrived at the bank at 11 a.m. and went straight to the 23rd floor.
Attorney General’s Office spokesman Jasman Pandjaitan said the team would discuss the seizure of Tjandra's funds to be transferred to the state.
As of 3.30 p.m., prosecutors had yet to leave the bank.
On Sunday, Luhut Marihot Parulian Pangaribuan, the lawyer for Bank Permata, said the bank would abide by the law, but would need to “fix things” before the money could be transferred safely.
Tjandra was recently convicted and sentenced in absentia to two years in jail by the Supreme Court and ordered to pay Rp 546 billion in restitution to the state for embezzling Bank Indonesia Liquidity Support (BLBI) funds given to Bank Bali. Bank Bali was liquidated to Bank Permata several years ago. (bbs)
