The verdict can be executed within the next 14 days if there is no appeal from the defendant. Desi Hadi Saputri, the victims' lawyer, expressed hope that the defendants would comply with the obligation to pay compensation.

"Currently, both the defendant and the plaintiff are still given the opportunity to decide whether there will be further legal action or not within 14 days. If there is no further legal action within these 14 days, it can proceed to collection or execution," said Desi Hadi Saputri, the lawyer for the victims, after the trial.

The hope of the victims is for Olivia Nathania, Rafly Novianto Tilaar, and Nia Daniaty to cooperate in fulfilling their obligation to pay the compensation that has been decided by the court.

"We hope that Olivia, Rafly, and Mrs. Nia Daniaty will be willing to pay the rights of the victims that have been decided by the court. Until now, none of them have ever come," said Desi Hadi Saputri.

"Yesterday, they only came before the conclusion of the trial, there was a lawyer but we don't know on behalf of whom, they came to the court and stated that the summons was invalid because it was never received. But that's wrong, the summons for Olivia and Rafly have clearly been received," she concluded.

Following the victims' report, Olivia Nathania was designated as a suspect and has been sentenced to prison. Meanwhile, Rafly Novianto Tilaar was released from all charges due to lack of evidence of involvement in the fake CPNS fraud practice.
