The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it will investigate parties suspected of participating in disguising assets belonging to former Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance Rafael Alun. One of them is his wife, Ernie Torondek and other nuclear families.

"Yes, everything (involvement was traced, ed)," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, Wednesday, May 10.

"His family, his son (will also be traced, ed)," he continued.

Not only that, Asep said, other external parties who were also caught receiving money from Rafael would certainly be exposed by investigators. So, they are likely to be summoned in the process of investigating the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU).

"Up, for example, family, parents. To the left of his friend and all kinds of things. Later it will be investigated," he said.

The KPK asked the public to be patient regarding the investigation into the alleged money laundering committed by Rafael. Asep said, anyone who participates in disguising or diverting from the results of gratification will be brushed indiscriminately.

"If you enter, for example, there is sufficient evidence that it will definitely increase (the status, ed)," he said.

As previously reported, Rafael Alun was named a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering. He is suspected of diverting or disguising the heat he received.

Meanwhile, in the gratification case, he allegedly received gratuities of 90,000 US dollars from several taxpayers through his company, PT Artha Mega Ezadhana (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.
