JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to pursue the flow of money from and for the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. They want to expose corrupt practices other than allegations of bribery and gratification, including money laundering (TPPU).

"We are developing further (the alleged corruption of Lukas Enembe, ed) does not stop at bribes and gratuities," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, February 10.

In addition, Ali emphasized that the KPK continues to confiscate Lukas' assets, which are suspected to be related to accepting bribes and gratuities. Most recently, investigators confiscated a Toyota Fortuner in Jayapura, Papua.

"We are chasing money, the flow of money, including confiscation of assets if it is later discovered that it has something to do with the case," he said.

"That's part of continuing to collect assets that are suspected to be the result of corruption which will eventually be confiscated," continued Ali.

Lukas Enembe is a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification for allegedly receiving money from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka. The gift was made so that the private company received a project in Papua.

The KPK said that there was a 14 percent agreement on the value of the contract and payments must be free of tax deductions.

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

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

After the project was won, Rijantono handed over Rp1 billion to Lukas. In addition, Lukas is also suspected of receiving gratuities of up to tens of billions that have just been investigated by the KPK.

Apart from Lukas, the KPK suspects that there are officials who play in accepting bribes and gratuities. However, investigators are still investigating.
