JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the relationship between Mulyono's dual position as Head of the Tax Service Office (KPP) Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, with the alleged corruption case in the submission of tax restitution.

"Is there any connection later with the alleged corruption that was committed or became a modus operandi to arrange the tax value or other modus operandi that entered into the elements of alleged corruption, there is an element of conflict of interest? It will still be investigated," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo in a statement confirmed and quoted in Jakarta, Sunday.

Meanwhile, he explained that the handling of ethics for Mulyono who had positions in 12 companies was handed over by the KPK to the Ministry of Finance.

"That falls within the internal realm of the Ministry of Finance. How can an ASN in the Ministry of Finance serve in 12 companies, serve as a commissioner? Is it regulated? Well, the ethics of an ASN is certainly within the internal supervision of the Ministry of Finance," he said.

Previously, on February 4, 2026, the KPK carried out a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) in the Banjarmasin KPP environment, South Kalimantan.

On the same date, the KPK arrested the Head of the Banjarmasin Deputy KPP, Mulyono, a state civil servant (ASN), and a private party in an OTT related to the process of tax restitution for value added tax in the oil palm plantation sector.

On February 5, 2026, the KPK announced Mulyono (MLY), a tax officer of the Banjarmasin Dian Jaya Demega (DJD) KPP, and the Financial Manager of PT Buana Karya Bhakti Venasius Jenarus Genggor (VNZ) as suspects in a case of alleged corruption related to the submission of tax restitution.
