The Attorney General's Office (AGO) is still struggling to reclaim fugitive Adrian Kiki Ariawan's financial assets amid pending progress reports from Australian authorities to ferret out money embezzled from the Indonesian Banking Liquidity Assistance (BLBI) fund.
Deputy Attorney General Muchtar Arifin told journalists Thursday the AGO had yet to receive information from Australia about its efforts to track down Adrian's money.
"In addition to working with Australian authorities, we have also cooperated with the PPATK (Indonesia's Financial Transaction Reports Analysis Center) to hunt down Adrian's accounts," he said, adding he had not been informed about Adrian's extradition trial date either.
Adrian is the former president director of the now-defunct Bank Surya who evaded arrest for his role in the BLBI graft case.
He was arrested by Australian authorities Nov. 28 in Perth.
In November 2002, Adrian was found guilty in absentia of misappropriating Rp 1.9 trillion (US$175 million) under the BLBI scheme in 1997 and sentenced to life in prison. (amr)
