LPSK to Oversee Restitution Payment for Murdered BRI Branch Head's Family

The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) will monitor the restitution payments to the family of Muhammad Ilham Pradipta, the murdered head of the BRI Cempaka Putih branch. LPSK respects the court's decision to grant restitution, aiming for its swift delivery to the victim's family.

LPSK will continue to oversee the restitution payment process until the family's rights are fulfilled.

LPSK Vice Chairman Antonius P.S. Wibowo stated that close coordination with prosecutors is essential for executing the restitution as per the court's verdict. "LPSK will continue to oversee the restitution payment process until the family's rights are fulfilled," Antonius said in a written statement on Thursday, July 23, 2026.

The agency uses the assessed losses suffered by the victim or their heirs as the basis for restitution. The total assessed loss was Rp 5.85 billion, to be borne by the defendants according to their roles in causing the loss and suffering. The East Jakarta District Court, on July 16, 2026, sentenced five defendants to pay Rp 860 million in restitution. On July 20, 2026, ten other defendants were ordered to pay Rp 3.25 billion.

The loss was borne by the defendants according to their roles and faults that caused the loss and suffering to the victim or their heirs.

Antonius explained that discrepancies between LPSK's restitution assessment and the court's awarded amount are common during trial proceedings. He noted that while LPSK might find sufficient evidence during its assessment, judges may have different considerations regarding the strength of evidence presented in court.

However, the judge has different considerations in assessing the strength of the evidence in court.
