JAKARTA - Former Head of Makassar Customs Andhi Pramono allegedly hid the assets of receiving gratuities at his father-in-law's house. This location was searched by investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Tuesday, June 6 yesterday.

"We did the search because we suspected that the assets from AP (Andhi Pramono) were stored in Batam, if I'm not mistaken, it's the house of his father-in-law, yes. The in-laws are just waiting for you," said KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata to reporters, Wednesday, June 7 night.

From the search, investigators found three luxury Hummer, Toyota Roadster and Mini Morris cars there. Alex said his agency believed the items were related to the alleged gratification he was doing.

"That's what we then conducted a search of the house in question, including then confiscating the assets concerned," he said.

As previously reported, Andhi has been named a suspect in the alleged receipt of gratuities. This determination began after the public highlighted his assets, the KPK made a clarification.

The KPK ensures that the determination of the suspect is in accordance with applicable regulations. Investigators have pocketed evidence of receipts by Andhi.
