Why Riva Was Not Ordered to Pay Restitution

Although stating that there were state losses, the panel emphasized that no legal facts were found indicating that Riva obtained or benefited from the proceeds of corruption. Therefore, the judges did not impose restitution (which is generally imposed based on Article 18 of the Corruption Law).

In line with these considerations, the panel also ordered the lifting of the block on savings accounts/bank accounts deemed unrelated to the criminal act in this case.

Losses of IDR 171 Trillion Deemed “Assumptions”, Attorney General's Office Files Appeal

In its series of considerations, the panel stated that the calculation of state economic losses approximately IDR 171 trillion is still considered an assumption and “unreal/uncertain”, thus it could not yet be proven as state economic losses in that verdict.

The Attorney General's Office then stated that it would file an appeal after the panel declared that the IDR 171 trillion loss was not proven in court.

Verdict for Other Defendants in the Same Case File

In the same hearing, the panel also rendered verdicts for two other defendants:

  • Maya Kusmaya: 9 years in prison + a fine of IDR 1 billion (with a subsidiary sentence of 190 days imprisonment).

  • Edward Corne: 10 years imprisonment + a fine of IDR 1 billion (with a subsidiary sentence of 190 days imprisonment).

Furthermore, in the same series of cases concerning “crude oil governance”, the Corruption Court (PN Tipikor) also handed down verdicts to other defendants (in separate case files), including five defendants who were sentenced to 9–13 years imprisonment on February 27, 2026.
