The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has issued an ultimatum for one of the witnesses in the case of gratification and money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared the former Head of Makassar Customs Andhi Pramono, Nova Adi Afianto. The reason is that the shop house (ruko) he occupies is uninhabited.

Head of the News Section Ali Fikri said Nova should be examined as a witness in the case of gratification and money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared Andhi. However, he was absent without explanation from investigators.

"And the information we received regarding the address of the witness' residence at Ruko City Garden Blok A No. 11 RT 04 RW 41 Berlian, Batam City, Riau Islands is empty," Ali told reporters, Monday, September 25.

The KPK reminded Nova to cooperate. The recall will be made again, said Ali.

"We remind you that the witness in question is cooperative at the next summons schedule," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK previously detained the former Head of Makassar Customs and Excise Andhi Pramono. He is suspected of receiving gratuities in the form of fees after becoming a broker for export-import entrepreneurs.

To make this acceptance, Andhi allegedly used an account belonging to his trusted person who was a businessman. They became nominees so that the gift to him was not detected.

It didn't stop there, Andhi was also suspected of committing a crime of money laundering (TPPU). This allegation arose because he disguised the purchase of assets using the names of other people, including his mother-in-law.

In this case, Andhi said that the KPK received a fee of up to Rp28 billion and the amount could continue to grow. The money was then purchased for various purposes such as diamonds, insurance policies, to houses in the Pejaten area, South Jakarta worth Rp20 billion.

In addition, he is also suspected of owning a collection of luxury cars and has now been confiscated. Three cars, namely Hummer type H3, a tsunami model, silver color along with 1 ignition key; one unit of a mini-type Morris brand car, a sedan model, red color along with 1 ignition key; and one Toyota brand car, roadster type, red passenger car model along with 2 ignition keys.
