KPK Investigate The Flow Of Alleged Corruption Proceeds To Lukas Enembe

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to investigate the receipt of money by former Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. This effort was carried out by questioning two witnesses, namely Basuki Rahmat who is a civil servant (PNS) and a driver named Darwis.

Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri said the investigation was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Tuesday, September 19. The two witnesses are suspected of knowing about the money laundering carried out by Lukas.

"Witnesses were present and re-examination, among others, related to the alleged flow of money received by suspect LE," Ali told reporters Thursday, September 21.

Ali has not yet detailed the target of tracing the flow of money. However, the KPK seeks to investigate efforts to disguise or transfer corruption money into economic-valued assets.

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 Security Apartment of Kemang Nirvana, Yogi Handriono.
