Allegedly Being Rafael Alun's Investment Place, This Is PT Pos Indonesia's Explanation

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that former employees of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo made investments in a number of companies to launder gratuities. One of them is PT Pos Indonesia.

As is known, the KPK is currently investigating the alleged money laundering case (TPPU) Rafael Alun Sambodo. Not only PT Pos Indonesia, the KPK suspects that there are two other companies suspected of being Rafael's investment sites, namely PT Cubes Consulting and PT Garuda Indonesia.

Responding to this, Pos Indonesia Public Relations Manager Doni Meilana said PT Cubes Consulting is a software provider company in collaboration with Pos Indonesia.

Furthermore, Doni said that Rafael Alun Trisambodo was suspected of receiving gratuities from PT Cube so that it had nothing to do with PT Pos Indonesia.

PT Cubes Consulting is a software provider company for SAP in collaboration with PT Pos Indonesia. RAT is suspected of receiving gratuities from PT Cubes, so it has nothing to do with PT Pos Indonesia," he said when contacted by VOI, in Jakarta, Thursday, August 3.

Previously, it was reported that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined the Director of Strategy and IT of PT Garuda Indonesia Elisa Lumbantoruan on Tuesday, August 1. He was investigated regarding the alleged investment made by former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo to launder gratuities.

"Witnesses were present and their knowledge was explored, among others, that they were still related to the alleged placement and investment of the RAT suspect in the witness company," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, August 2.

In addition, investigators also questioned two other witnesses to investigate similar allegations. They are the Director of PT Cubes Consulting Gunadi Hastowo, and former Head of the ERP Development Project of PT Pos Indonesia Slamet Sajidi.

It has not been specified by Ali how much money Rafael has played through investment. However, the statements of the three witnesses are believed to make clear the alleged money laundering he committed.
