JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated a number of documents related to the money laundering crime (TPPU) of former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL. This step was taken after investigators searched the law firm's office, Visi Law in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta on Wednesday, March 19.

For information, Visi Law Office is a law firm office established by former KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah along with former Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) researcher Donal Fariz. Then, Rasamala Aritonang, who is a former anti-corruption commission employee, joined in 2022.

Recently, Febri Diansyah has no longer joined the Vision Law Office. He founded a new law firm, namely Diansyah and Partners.

"The results of the Visi Law office found documents and electronic evidence," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters in a written statement, Thursday, March 20.

It has not been detailed about the documents referred to by Tessa. However, from the information obtained, investigators confiscated legal opinion files (LO) when Febri and Rasamala became SYL's attorneys in cases of extortion and acceptance of gratuities to financial records.

Meanwhile, Febri, Donal Fariz, and Rasamala were prevented from leaving the country for six months in 2024. This travel ban emerged when Febri and Rasamala became SYL's attorney before finally resigning.

Meanwhile, Donal, based on his confession, was not part of SYL's legal team. However, like Febri and Rasamala, he was also examined as a witness in the extortion and gratification case carried out by the politician.

As previously reported, former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo is still a suspect in alleged money laundering. This step was taken after the KPK developed cases of extortion and acceptance of gratuities that ensnared him.

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