JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the case of gratification and money laundering that ensnared former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo was a new precedent. This is because the investigation of alleged rasuah based on state administrators' wealth reports (LHKPN) is rarely carried out.

"It is not a habit for the KPK to investigate based on LHKPN. If this is successful, this breakthrough will be a new precedent," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 24.

Ghufron said that so far LHKPN has only been administrative. However, in the future, the report will be used as a guide in taking action.

Ghufron also had time to talk about the Rafael Alun case which will soon be tried. He ensured that the prosecutor would prepare the indictment according to the available evidence.

All of Rafael's actions when allegedly receiving gratuities and disguising the proceeds of the money he received will be detailed according to the evidence. "KPK will carefully prepare the indictment and prepare evidence because this is as we know it is based on LHKPN, yes," said Ghufron.

Rafael Alun will undergo the first trial of the alleged Money Laundering (TPPU) and Gratification cases on August 30. The trial schedule for Rafael Alun Trisambodo is based on the Perkasa Tracing Information System (SIPP) of the Central Jakarta District Court.

In this case, Rafael Alun Trisambodo allegedly received gratuities of US$90,000 from several taxpayers through his company, PT Artha Mega Ekadhana (AME). This acceptance has occurred since 2011 while serving 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.

Until finally, the KPK named Rafael as a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU). He is suspected of diverting or disguising the hot money he received.

In this development, investigators confiscated a number of Rafael's assets. Among them are Toyota Camry and Land Cruiser cars, a big motorbike of the Triumph 1,200 CC type.

It did not stop there, the anti-corruption commission confiscated 20 assets in the form of land and buildings spread across a number of cities such as Yogyakarta and Manado. The value reaches Rp150 billion.
