JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined the state civil apparatus (ASN) at the Bekasi City Government, Mulyadi Latief on Wednesday, August 24 yesterday.

He was asked about the money used by the inactive Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi or Pepen to buy assets in the form of land and buildings.

The Head of the KPK News Section, Ali Fikri, said that the witness examination was related to the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) committed by Pepen.

"The attendance and confirmation related to, among other things, the alleged source of money used by the suspect RE to buy various assets, including land and buildings," Ali told reporters, Thursday, August 25.

Ali did not specify where the assets are located. However, it is suspected that Pepen bought it with the money he received from bribes.

Previously, the KPK developed a case of alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services as well as the auction of positions in Bekasi. As a result, Pepen was charged with money laundering.

The development was carried out after the KPK found sufficient preliminary evidence. Pepen is suspected of disguising his assets, which were allegedly purchased using money from fraudulent practices.
