Ministry Of Agriculture's Corruption Money Laundering, KPK Starts Checking SYL's Children And Grandchildren Today

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned two witnesses in the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) that ensnared former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo today, Tuesday, July 16. One of them is Syahrul's son, Indira Chunda Titha who is a member of the Indonesian Parliament.

"KPK conducts witness examination related to the alleged money laundering offense with the suspect SYL," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, July 16.

In addition, the anti-corruption commission also summoned Andi Tenri Bilang Radisyah for questioning. "The examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building," said Tessa.

Previously reported, former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo was charged as a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU). This step was taken after the development of cases of extortion and acceptance of gratuities that had been convicted at the Jakarta Corruption Court.

In this case, the anti-corruption commission has confiscated a number of assets that Syahrul allegedly bought with corruption proceeds. One of them is a white Mitsubishi Sport Dakar hidden in an empty land in the Makassar area, South Sulawesi.
