JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has ensured that it will not only investigate allegations of corruption that ensnared Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. Economic-valued assets allegedly obtained from fraudulent practices will be pursued.

"Every process of investigating cases carried out by the KPK, we are tracing the information and data related to the case in question, including information on assets or economical-valued goods that are suspected to have originated from criminal acts of corruption," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to VOI, Saturday, December 3.

Ali said the investigation of this asset could lead to the application of the article on Money Laundering (TPPU). Moreover, the KPK is currently trying to optimize asset recovery or asset recovery.

However, the KPK did not want to rashly apply the article. They are now focusing on finding evidence first by summoning a number of witnesses.

"KPK's current policy is not only focused on the aspect of corporate imprisonment for perpetrators of corruption but also optimizing asset recovery," he said.

"Well, one of the instruments that can be used is (the article, red) on the Crime of Money Laundering because of course we can further trace the flow of money whether legal facts can be found that have changed (money, red) to assets of economic value," Ali continued.

Lukas Enembe has been named by the KPK as a suspect but has not yet been detained. In investigating this alleged corruption, investigators continued to summon a number of witnesses.

One of the witnesses examined was a private person named Mustakim. During the examination which was held on Wednesday, November 23, he was asked by investigators about the purchase of various assets made by Lukas.

In addition, investigators also examined the treasurer of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Meike and PT Tabi Bangun employee Willcius. The two witnesses were questioned regarding the money used by Lukas for their personal interests.
