“But until finally it was discovered that the funds were embezzled. They used the money for personal use. Of course, the victim’s family was very, very disappointed,” he continued.
Vini explained that at that time Boeing provided a number of compensations to be managed by five foundations. In the end, one of the selected foundations was ACT.
“So it doesn’t have to be returned to the victim’s family, so at that time Boeing gave an amount of how many million USD to be distributed to five foundations in Indonesia which were managed by the victim’s family. Just because some of the victims’ families have some, some don’t, we finally agreed to choose five foundation to manage the Boeing funds,” he said.
Vini said the funds were intended for social activities such as handling natural disaster relief. He said the funds received by ACT to be managed at that time amounted to Rp 138 billion.
“The intention is to share if there is an earthquake or maybe he wants to make a work program for children in disadvantaged villages that is social in nature, but because from the start, we have been asked before the money is transferred to the account of each foundation where the work program is. That’s it. The total is Rp. 138 billion. So there is nothing to be returned to the victim’s family, the victim’s family has already received a bigger compensation. So it is purely for the social services given to ACT to be managed,” he added.
