JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will investigate the Rp71 billion money blocked by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) in the account of Papua Governor Lukas Enembe.

KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto said his party would investigate where the money came from. It will be investigated whether it is related to the procurement of goods and services or bribes.

"KPK has taken over the blocking. This means that those from PPATK have now been blocked by investigators at the KPK amounting to Rp71 billion for several banking services and from insurance. We are currently investigating this," Karyoto told reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday, September 21.

The main sentence that will be suspected against Lukas will be sought. "Is it a bribe, is it related to the procurement of goods and services, or others," said Karyoto.

Furthermore, the KPK will also look for the possibility of alleged money laundering (TPPU) committed by Lukas. All of this will be carried out in the investigation process.

Previously, PPATK found a gambling transaction involving Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. It is suspected that this activity occurred in two countries.

"PPATK also gets information, cooperates with other countries and there are gambling activities in two different countries," said PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana in a press conference broadcast on the YouTube of the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Monday, September 19.

For information, Lukas Enembe has been named a suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This determination is based on complaints from the public.

The case that ensnared him has not been detailed, but he has been prevented from going abroad for six months. The announcement of the construction of the case that ensnared Lukas will be conveyed to the public during an attempt to force detention.
