The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to trace the flow of corruption money from former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) to a number of parties, one of whom is the Sub-Department who has served as Chairman of Commission IV of the DPR for the 2019-2024 period.

As for the Sub-Department, the PDIP legislator, it is said that he had received prizes of money and watches from SYL. This was revealed in the trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court.

"All this information and information is of course investigated by investigators to see if there are other roles," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo when confirmed by reporters quoted on Friday, June 20.

Even so, Budi has not explained further about the information on the flow of SYL corruption money, including the alleged gift to the Sudin.

However, requests for information from a number of parties continue to be made to complete the investigation of the money laundering case (TPPU).

"Currently, the KPK has not been able to convey in detail because it is included in the investigation material," said Budi.

Budi only ensured that investigators would explore where the money from SYL corruption went.

"The imposition of this ML article is also one of them to optimize asset recovery," he said.

Meanwhile, Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu also ensured that the investigation of the SYL TPPU would continue.

"(Cases, red) the money laundering offenses are still running," said Asep.

The name Sudin is known to have appeared in the trial of extortion and receiving gratuities at the Ministry of Agriculture that ensnared SYL. He was mentioned by SYL's aide, Panji Hartanto received Rp100 million in cash to a luxury watch prize for Rp100 million.

The Sudin was also examined in the process of investigating the SYL corruption case on November 15, 2023. His house is an alley having its address at Raffles Hills, Cimanggis, Depok, West Java, and KPK investigators have also searched his house.

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.

Recently, SYL has been sent to the Sukamiskin Penitentiary (Lapas), Bandung, West Java. He will serve a 12-year prison sentence for guilt in cases of extortion and acceptance of gratuities at the Ministry of Agriculture.

SYL was also sentenced to pay a fine of IDR 500 million, subsidiary to four months in prison plus compensation of IDR 44,269,777,204 and 30 thousand US dollars, subsidiary to five years in prison.
