JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) moved 11 luxury cars from the house of the General Chairperson of Pemuda Pancasila Japto Soerjosoemarno to the State Confiscated Object Storage House (Rupbasan) in East Jakarta today, Tuesday, March 4.

This transfer was only carried out after Japto's house in the Jagakarsa area, South Jakarta was searched by investigators on February 2. The car is suspected to be related to the alleged gratification of the metric ton of coal mining that ensnared the former Kutai Kartanegara Regent Rita Widyari.

"Currently there is a shift in vehicles belonging to JS's brother to the KPK Rupbasan," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, March 4.

Apart from cars, investigators also confiscated other items from Japto's house. At that time, they also confiscated ang rupiah and foreigners worth Rp56 billion, documents and electronic evidence from Japto's house.

However, investigators did not immediately confiscate and carry the car. KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu said the forced effort had to be postponed due to budget efficiency.

"There are several cars that we will move. (The obstacle, red) may be related to the previous question regarding the issue of efficiency," Asep told reporters quoted on Thursday, February 20.

Asep then explained that the confiscation of money and cars by the anti-corruption commission investigators had differences. He said the vehicle needed additional costs for maintenance.

Meanwhile, confiscation of money or precious metal only requires storage. "Especially if the car is in the same class as a sports car," he said.

"Don't just change the oil, just change the oil, how many tens, how many millions," continued Asep.

Meanwhile, Japto has been worked on by investigators at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Wednesday, February 26. He was economical when asked about his introduction to the former Kartanegara Regent Rita Widyasari.
