JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has questioned Karina Pratiwi for allegedly knowing how the former Papua Governor Lukas Enembe disguised the proceeds of corruption. This doctor was examined as a witness to the alleged crime of laundering (TPPU) on Monday, September 25 yesterday.

"Witnesses were present and their knowledge was investigated, among others, related to the alleged exchange of money from the suspect LE," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, September 26.

The money allegedly came from corruption and was exchanged in foreign currency to the rupiah and vice versa. The goal is to disguise the acceptance made by Lukas.

Previously reported, the alleged money laundering committed by Lukas was revealed after the KPK ensnared him in bribery and gratification cases.

In the bribery case, he allegedly received money from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijatono Lakka. Meanwhile, gratification is allegedly given by other private parties in order to get projects in Papua.

From this money laundering case, 27 of Lukas' assets were confiscated by the KPK. Among them are money worth Rp. 81,628,693,000; 5,100 US dollars; and 26,300 Singapore dollars; assets in the form of land and buildings; as well as precious metals.

In addition, investigators are also investigating the ownership of private aircraft and it is suspected that Lukas laundered money by buying shares of airlines or aviation companies. This information was once investigated by the Director of Administration of PT RDG, Khoirul Anam; Mutmainah who is a private employee; and the Security Apartment of Kemang Nirvana, Yogi Handriono.
