Even though they receive confiscated money, it is not easy for LPSK to return customers' money

LPSK Deputy Head Antonius Wibowo, Wednesday (24/4/2024), said that after LPSK received the looted money in the KSP Indosurya case from the prosecutor's office, his party then followed up by verifying customer data as follows.

Antonius stated that the verification process was not easy. This is because LPSK does not have complete data for 6,193 customers as mentioned in the Supreme Court's decision. The data is scattered in the police or prosecutor's office, and even after coordination, the available data is not entirely complete, such as incomplete addresses, incomplete identity cards, and similar customer names.

The verification process is not an easy task. This is because LPSK (the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation) does not have complete data for 6,193 customers as mentioned in the Supreme Court's decision. The data is scattered throughout the police or prosecutor's office and even after coordination, the available data is not entirely complete, such as incomplete addresses, incomplete ID cards, and duplicate customer names.

"We are currently carrying out that process. "Only after that, we will assess the victim's losses," said Antonius.

According to Antonius, out of thousands of data, around 3,000 have already been verified. Meanwhile, there are around 8,000 data that still need to be verified. As for the 488 protected victims of LPSK who previously applied to LPSK, most of them are included in victims who must receive restitution as per the decision of MA.

If the verification process is completed, LPSK will proceed to the next stage, which is to assess the losses suffered by the customer or victim. At that stage, the victim will be asked to come to LPSK with their ticket. The ticket will then be verified by LPSK.

Distribution to the victims will certainly be done proportionally because the assets seized from the case are far below the value of the losses. We haven't reached that point yet, we're still in the process of data verification.

"The distribution among the victims will definitely be done proportionally because the assets seized from the case are far below the loss value. We haven't reached that point yet, we are still verifying the data," explained Antonius.

Transparent and accountable

Until today, we are committed to carrying out that because the sound of the ruling's command is for the seized goods to be handed over to the victims. That's the essence of it.

According to Antonius, his party is striving to ensure that the process runs transparently and accountably, including through cooperation with the Asset Recovery Agency at the public prosecutor's office. On one hand, LPSK wants to ensure the rights of the victims in accordance with court decisions, while on the other hand, they also do not want any victims to be overlooked.

"Until today, we are committed to carrying out this because the essence of the court decision is to hand over the seized items to the victim. That's the main point," said Antonius.
