JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that the money from the corruption of the Operational Supporting Fund and Program for the Improvement of Official Services for Regional Heads and Deputy Regional Heads of the Papua Provincial Government was bought a private jet. However, this aircraft is said to be absent from Indonesia.
"Investigators suspect that the flow of funds from the proceeds of corruption is one of them being used to purchase private jets whose whereabouts are currently abroad," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Thursday, June 12.
Budi did not specify where the plane would be. He only said that the investigation is now being carried out by investigators by summoning Gibrael Isaak, a Singaporean as the boss of PT Rio De Gabriello (RDG) Airlines as a witness today.
"Today, the KPK summoned a witness on behalf of GI, a Singaporean foreigner who is a private airline entrepreneur to investigate regarding the purchase of the private jet," he said.
"The KPK hopes that all parties will cooperate in this case. The evidence found should not be hidden for various reasons, "continued Budi.
"So it is not only for proof but (evidence, ed) it is also the first step to optimize asset recovery later. Moreover, state losses in this case reached Rp1 trillion," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK investigated allegations of corruption in the abuse of authority related to the Operational Supporting Fund and Program for the Improvement of Official Services for Regional Heads and Deputy Regional Heads of the Papua Provincial Government. The state's losses due to this reckless practice reached Rp1.2 trillion.
There is already one suspect in this case, namely DE as Treasurer of the Expenditure of the Regional Head of Papua Province. He is suspected of committing his actions together with Lukas Enembe while still serving as Governor of Papua.
Meanwhile, Lukas Enembe has died at the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital, Jakarta in December 2023. At that time, he was still a defendant in a bribery and gratification case and the KPK was investigating the crime of money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared him.
