Lukas Enembe, the disgraced governor of Papua, who was convicted in a case of bribery and graft, passed away a day after Christmas. This news gave rise to a lot of criticism at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) from Lukas’ supporters, especially since from the start many believed that the KPK was the cause of Lukas’ worsening condition. However, apart from concerns about conditions in Papua, we are more concerned about asset recovery efforts in this case.

Back in July 2023 the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) uncovered a case of alleged corruption which caused an unexpected drama. The operation was conducted related to an alleged corruption in a project belonging to the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), then the KPK officially named five suspects in this case, including the Chief of Basarnas, Air Marshal Henri Alfiandi. The TNI then caused a commotion and protested the KPK’s decision because two suspects were active military officers. After facing backlash from the public, the situation calmed down a bit and the two institutions agreed to work together. Unlike the eventful revelation, trial of the civil suspects started and continues far from media coverage. Last week, the three defendants were found guilty.

This means, according to the Supreme Court, corruption really has taken place. This week, we learned that all 13 defendants have been found guilty.
