The House Of Entrepreneur Hanan Supangkat Was Ransacked By The KPK Regarding The Money Laundering Case Of Syahrul Yasin Limpo

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the house of businessman Hanan Supangkat related to the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) of former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

"The information we got was correct (there was a search at Hanan Supangkat's house, ed)," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri when confirmed by reporters, Wednesday night, March 6.

Ali said the house of the boss of PT Mulia Knitting Factory as well as the former Chair of the Ferrari Owners Club Indonesia (FOCI) which was searched was in the Kembangan area, West Jakarta. Currently, the activity is still ongoing so that there is not much information that can be conveyed.

Meanwhile, Hanan Supangkat had already been examined as a witness in the TPPU case that ensnared Syahrul on Friday, March 1. At that time, investigators investigated allegations of communication with Syahrul and projects carried out at the Ministry of Agriculture.

Previously reported, the KPK named Syahrul as a suspect in money laundering (TPPU). This step was taken after investigators developed allegations of extortion and gratification which is currently being tried.

In the case of extortion and gratification, Syahrul was charged with extortion of up to Rp44.5 billion in the 2020-2023 period. This action was carried out together with the Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture Kasdi Subagyono and the Director of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery of the Directorate General of Infrastructure and Facilities of the Ministry of Agriculture Muhammad Hatta.

This money was then used for the benefit of Syahrul's wife and family, invited gifts, the NasDem Party, religious events, aircraft charters to Umrah and sacrifices. Then, he was also charged with receiving gratuities of Rp40.6 M from January 2020 to October 2023.
