JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirmed that it would pursue assets belonging to Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. This step was taken as an effort to recover state losses as a result of the alleged corruption committed by Lukas.

"In an effort to optimize asset recovery, we ensure that each case handling by the KPK is always developed in other articles and laws, including money laundering (TPPU)," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, January 2.

Even so, the anti-corruption commission is still focused on investigating the alleged corruption that ensnared Lukas. Ali said they wanted this fraudulent practice to be proven.

"So far, the investigation is still focused on proving the alleged bribery and gratification," he said.

As previously reported, Lukas Enembe has been named a suspect in alleged corruption by the KPK. However, he did not fulfill the investigator's summons because he was sick.

Furthermore, the KPK left for Jayapura on Thursday, November 3 to examine Lukas. The examination was carried out at his home.

At that time, the KPK team consisting of independent doctors and investigators were present led by KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri. Arriving in Jayapura, Firli had a chance to talk with Lukas.

During the conversation, Firli asked about Lukas' condition and spoke for about 15 minutes. Even so, Lukas' examination did not last long because he was sick.

In investigating the case that ensnared Lukas, the KPK has summoned a number of witnesses. Most of them were asked by investigators about the purchase of various assets made by the Governor of Papua.
