The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to investigate allegations of money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo. His activities during his tenure were investigated by investigators from Heru Tri Widiarto as Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture Plantation.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said Heru was examined as a witness on Friday, May 16. The request for information was carried out at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.
"The witness was present and his knowledge was explored regarding SYL's activities while serving as Minister of Agriculture," Budi told reporters in a written statement quoted on Tuesday, May 20.
It has not been detailed what activities investigators are looking for during their tenure. However, the information given by Heru as a witness confirmed the suspicion of the former minister.
As previously reported, the former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo is currently a suspect in alleged money laundering. This step was taken after the development of cases of extortion and acceptance of gratuities that had been convicted by the Jakarta Corruption Court.
In this case, the KPK has confiscated a number of assets that Syahrul allegedly bought with money from corruption. One of them is a white Mitsubishi Sport Dakar hidden in an empty land in the Makassar area, South Sulawesi.
In addition, investigators have also examined a number of parties from the Vision Law Office, which is a law firm formed by former KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah with Donal Fariz who is a burst Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW). As for the former KPK from the legal bureau, Rasamala Aritonang joined there.
Febri and Rasamala then defended Syahrul Yasin Limpo. Thus, there are allegations that their services are paid using money from corruption.
One of the investigators summoned was Fathroni Diansyah, who is Febri Diansyah's younger brother. He is known to have been an Associate in the Visi Law Office before forming his own law firm with his brother, Diansyah and Partners.
