JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo to cooperate. He is expected to follow the process of investigating the alleged gratification that ensnared him.

"We remind the suspect to cooperate in the investigation processes that we are currently carrying out," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Saturday, April 1.

Ali said the suspect also had the right to argue. However, he considered that the rebuttal was more appropriate in front of investigators.

Moreover, the current legal process is confirmed according to the rules. "Please convey the person concerned directly before the KPK Investigative Team so that later it can be tested openly in the trial process," he said.

As previously reported, Rafael Alun emphasized that he always obeyed the KPK's rules to report wealth every year. He felt that he had never hidden his wealth so he was confused when he was named a suspect.

"I can clarify that I am always orderly reporting SPT-OP and LHKPN, have never hidden property, and are ready to explain the origin of each fixed asset," said Rafael Alun in Jakarta, Friday, March 31.

Meanwhile, 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.

During the investigation, the KPK has 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.
