JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) found luxury bags and money while searching the house of former official Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun. The search was carried out on Monday, March 27 yesterday. "At that time it was true that the investigative team found money and dozens of luxury foreign brand bags," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, March 31. It did not specify how much money and the bag brand were. Ali only said the findings were obtained at Rafael's house located at Simprug Golf Housing, Jakarta. "Immediately confiscation and analysis of these findings will be carried out as evidence of the alleged receipt of gratuities," he said. Previously reported, the KPK named Rafael Alun a suspect. He is suspected of receiving gratuities of up to tens of billions from 2011-2023 related to tax audits. This determination was made by the anti-corruption commission after they investigated Rafael Alun's jumbo assets which were exposed after his son, Mario Dandy, abused a 17-year-old student, David. It is suspected that there was a game behind the ownership of a wealth of Rp56 billion. In this effort, investigators have asked for information from the Head of the East Jakarta Intermediate Tax Service Office (KPP) Wahono Saputro. This summons was made because his wife allegedly owns shares in the company owned by Rafael's wife, Erni Torondek.

In addition, investigators are also investigating the findings of Rafael's safe deposit box in which there are billions of money. The findings that have been blocked by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) are suspected to have come from accepting bribes.
