JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is now investigating allegations of money laundering (TPPU) by related parties in the alleged bribery of infrastructure procurement in South Buru Regency in 2011-2016.
This was done after the discovery of other suspected criminal acts in the ongoing investigation of alleged bribery.
"Observing the findings of other alleged criminal acts in the process of investigating cases of alleged corruption related to infrastructure work projects in South Buru Regency from 2011 to 2016, the investigative team then continued the investigation process by conducting a new investigation in the case of alleged money laundering offences," said Acting KPK spokesman. Enforcement Division Ali Fikri told reporters, Tuesday, January 25.
This allegation of money laundering, continued Ali, was found because the KPK suspected that there were parties who were trying to disguise or hide the origin of their assets.
"KPK suspects that parties related to this case have carried out placements, transfers and other actions to hide and disguise the origin of assets suspected of being the proceeds of criminal acts of corruption," he said. Not only that, summons and examination of witnesses will be carried out.
So, people are asked to be patient and not speculate anything. "The Investigative Team is currently still collecting various evidences, including summoning and examining witnesses to fulfill the alleged criminal elements," said Ali.
"Development will be informed further," he concluded.
