JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) showcased its findings when it searched the house belonging to former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance, Rafael Alun Trisambodo, some time ago. There are 30 luxury bags consisting of high-end brands including Hermes, Christian Dior, to Louis Vuitton.

"During the search, wallets, belts, watches were found," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, April 3.

Judging by VOI, the bag was exhibited by the KPK at a long table with various sizes and colors. One of the items on display was two large tote bags with different Christian Dior brands.

The anti-corruption commission obtained the evidence when searching Rafael Alun's house in the Simprug area, South Jakarta. The search was carried out some time ago before he was detained.

In addition, the KPK also exhibited Rp32.2 billion in cash in foreign currency denominations. This finding was obtained from a safe deposit box at a bank.

"The American dollar split, Singapore dollar and Euro currency," said Firli.

Previously, the KPK detained Rafael Alun because he was suspected of receiving gratuities of US$90,000 from several taxpayers through his company, PT Artha Mega Ekadhana (AME). This acceptance is said to have occurred since 2011 when he served as Head of Audit, Investigation, and Tax Collection at the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes East Java 1.

Rafael's number of gratuities can still increase because investigators are still continuing to investigate. Given that the company has handled many clients who have difficulty reporting tax books.

For his actions, Rafael was detained at the KPK Detention Center in the Red and White Building for the first 20 days. He is suspected of violating Article 12B of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.
