The determination of the suspect to former high-ranking tax official Rafael Alun Trisambodo (RAT) by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today is a new chapter in the efforts to resolve a number of cases in the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu). The certainty of the suspect RAT was conveyed by the Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri.

"We found at least two pieces of evidence of alleged corruption," he said on Thursday, March 30.

Meanwhile, the RAT problem has been going on for quite a long time until now it has the status of a suspect, ranging from dismissal to dismissal as a State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

Until this news was published, the Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani has not commented on anything, either through her official website or personal social media platform. The state treasurer seems to be focusing on the various agendas of the ASEAN meeting which will be held in Bali, March 29-30.

VOI noted that Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani had started reluctant to talk about the RAT Cs issue since the end of last month. At that time he stated that further examination and legal proceedings would be handled by the Inspectorate General (Itjen).

"The Inspectorate General is moving forward. So, after this I don't talk but the Inspector General (Irjen) who spoke not because I was hiding. This shows the system at the Ministry of Finance is running," he told reporters on February 28.

As is known, the problem that befell RAT then became the entry point in uncovering the alleged money laundering case at the Ministry of Finance.

Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD even mentioned the figure of Rp. 300 trillion regarding the alleged money launching at the Ministry of Finance based on data from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).
