TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Neneng Hasanah Yasin, non-active Bekasi regent-cum-suspect in Meikarta graft case, has returned a total of Rp8 billion to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). “[Non-active] The Bekasi Regent has returned Rp2 billion to KPK on Thursday, January 3,” said KPK spokesperson Febri Diansyah in Jakarta today, January 4.
Febri said the KPK was appreciative of Neneng's act. “Even though it does not reduce the criminal sentence, her cooperation will be considered as a factor to giving her a lighter sentence during legal proceedings.”
The KPK has named nine suspects in the graft case of satellite city project of Meikarta: Lippo Group operational director Billy Sindoro, consultants Taryudi and Fitra Djaja Purnama, and an employee Henry Jasmen.
