Wealth Report Odd, Former Head Of Purwakarta Customs Called By KPK Today

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned Rahmady Effendy Hutahaean, who is the former Head of Purwakarta Customs, today, Monday, May 20. This newly dismissed official will be clarified regarding the state administrator's wealth report (LHKPN) which is considered odd.

"Yes (the summons was made, ed) at 09.00 WIB at the Red and White Building," said Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring Pahala Nainggolan to reporters quoted on Monday, May 20.

Pahala has not detailed the efforts to clarify the wealth report. However, the KPK felt necessary because his wife had shares in a company. Not only that, he is also suspected of providing loans to other parties amounting to Rp7 billion and exceeding his wealth worth Rp6 billion.

Head of Customs and Excise Purwakarta Rahmady Effendy Hutahaean is in the public spotlight because he is suspected of involving his family in carrying out official affairs. He was later removed from his position after undergoing an internal examination.

In addition, Rahmady was also reported to the KPK some time ago by Andreas, who is an advocate from the Law Office of Eternity Global Lawfirm. He questioned Rahmady's LHKPN in the report.

The reason is that Rahmady's wife, Margaret Chritsina, gave a loan of IDR 7 billion to Wijanto Tirtasana, who is Andreas' client. This incident occurred in 2017.

The loan requirement is to make Margaret the main commissioner and shareholder by 40 percent. However, there was a threat from Rahmady and his wife against Wijanto so that Andreas as legal counsel traced it and knew the official's wealth.
