The question of how prosecutors recover State losses is actually always present in every corruption case. The difference is, in the PT Timah corruption case, the amount of State losses is so mind blowing that it is almost impossible to fully recover even by confiscating the assets of the defendants/convicts. In addition to determining who is most responsible, another question is what should be done if it turns out that among the confiscated assets there are assets that are collateral in financial institutions/Banks? Will the Bank lose its rights in order to prioritize the resolution of corruption cases? What if the Bank in question is State-owned? Wouldn’t there eventually be a double loss to the State?
