The conglomerate of the Djarum Group belonging to the Hartono family was also involved in the alleged tax corruption case related to the 2016-2020 tax amnesty program which is currently being investigated by the Attorney General's Office (AGO). This allegation of involvement emerged after the AGO conducted searches at several residences of tax officials suspected of being involved.
Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive stated that the Ministry of Finance fully supports the investigation steps carried out by the AGO.
"I haven't received a report from the Attorney General, but I think let it run," he said at a press conference on our State Budget, Thursday, November 20.
Purbaya also responded to other issues about several companies that have not fulfilled their tax payment obligations on time. He emphasized that the issue was not related to allegations of corruption in the implementation of the tax amnesty.
"This is different, this is a tax amnesty case, right? Maybe there are some assessments that are not very accurate, I don't know. Let the Attorney General explain to the media," he explained.
