JAKARTA. The arrest of Samadikun Hartono, a graft convict who was on the lam for 13 years, cannot be immediately followed by the confiscation of his assets to recover the state losses triggered by his case, Attorney General HM Prasetyo has said. "What's important for us is to arrest the person first. After that, we will communicate with him," Prasetyo said on the sidelines of a hearing with House Commission III overseeing legal affairs in Jakarta on Thursday. The attorney general could not state when the losses reaching some Rp 169 billion (US$12.9 million) could be recovered, but he said “he had a plan in mind” to recover the assets. He refused, however, to explain details.
