“The KPK has been sent to the Prosecution Directorate to receive a letter from the regional secretary of the Indramayu regency which essentially requests that the assets on behalf of the Raisan hospital be used for the treatment of Covid-19 patients”, the prosecutor said in the courtroom on Monday (12/04/2021).

The prosecutor continued that the Indramayu regional government said in the letter that it badly needs additional health services for patients with Covid-19.

However, what the prosecutor said was that the hospital was no longer operational, as it had been confiscated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and became one of the evidence in the case of the defendant Rohadi.

“Raisan’s hospital after the confiscation was not in operational condition, because it was a new hospital, which had already been confiscated before the operation, so it is still blocked,” said the prosecutor.
