Jakarta (VNA) - Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Budi Gunawan announced that the Indonesian Government has successfully recovered 6.7 trillion IDR (401 million USD) in state funds by exposing corruption cases.

According to Gunawan, this achievement was recorded within three months of the Red and White Cabinet under President Prabowo Subianto's leadership.

“This success demonstrates the government’s firm commitment to combatting corruption and ensuring that state assets are returned for the benefit of the public, Gunawan stated in an official statement recently.

He explained that the recovery of state funds was made possible through the uncovering of several corruption cases conducted by the Coordinating Desk for Corruption Prevention and Governance Improvement established by his ministry.

Gunawan also counted on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps, which continue to work in synergy with other law enforcers.

Gunawan ensured that the corruption eradication desk will persist in safeguarding state assets to be used for the benefit of the community.

This desk comprises representatives from the Attorney General's Office along with other agencies, such as the Government’s Development Finance Comptroller (BPKP), the National Police, KPK, the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), and the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

Additionally, it includes members from the Ministry of Communication and Digital, Presidential Communications Office, Ministry of Immigration and Corrections, Ministry of Law, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Investment, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, and the National Public Procurement Agency (LKPP)./.
