JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized a Toyota Fortuner unit in connection with allegations of bribery and gratuities that ensnared the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. The confiscation was carried out from a witness.

"The investigative team has confiscated a Toyota Fortuner car from one of the witnesses who is suspected of having a direct relationship with this case," said Head of KPK Reporting Section Ali Fikri at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, Tuesday, February 7.

The identity of the witness was not specified. Ali only said the confiscation was carried out on Monday, February 6.

Furthermore, the KPK will continue to collect evidence to investigate allegations of bribery and gratuities that ensnared Lukas. "Including asset tracing in the alleged corruption case in question," he said.

As previously reported, Lukas was a suspect in alleged bribery and gratuities because he allegedly received money from PT Tabi Bangun Papua Director Rijantono Lakka. The award was made so that the private company could get a project in Papua.

The KPK stated that there was an agreement on a fee of 14 percent of the contract value and payment must be free from tax deductions.

After the agreement, Rijantono's company received three projects. The first is the improvement of Entrop-Hamadi Road with a project value of IDR 14.8 billion.

Rehabilitation of supporting facilities and infrastructure for Integration PAUD with a project value of IDR 13.3 billion. Finally, the venue environmental management project is developing the AURI outdoor with a project value of IDR 12.9 billion.

After the project was won, Rijantono handed over IDR 1 billion to Lukas. Apart from that, Lukas is also suspected of receiving gratuities of up to tens of billions which the KPK is currently investigating.

Apart from Lukas, the KPK suspects that there are other officials involved in receiving bribes and gratuities. However, investigators are still investigating
