JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that former Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) official Rafael Alun Trisambodo was also investigated for his wealth in 2018. This examination was carried out for the 2015-2018 period. "We published the report on January 23, 2019," said KPK Deputy Prevention Pahala Nainggolan to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 1. This result, continued Pahala, had been submitted to the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Finance. However, the anti-corruption commission admitted that it was difficult at that time. "We have limitations to reach where all of his assets come from," he said. Even so, Pahala said that the KPK still sent a team to go down to the field to check Rafael's wealth. "The question is, we will check what is called administration (already) okay," he said. Previously, Rafael's wealth was in the spotlight after his son, Mario Dandy Satrio, abused 17-year-old David. The video of the abuse was widely circulated on social media. After the case, a number of Mario videos spread his wealth on social media in the form of Harley Davidson motorcycles highlighted by netizens. Not only that, but the public also highlighted the ownership of the Rubicon car used when the persecution took place. However, it turns out that the Harley Davidson and Rubicon are not on the list of assets reported by Rafael. The amount of wealth he submitted in the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) as of February 17, 2022 reached Rp56 billion. This amount exceeds the wealth of the Director General of Taxes Suryo Utomo of around Rp. 14 billion, who is Rafael's superior. In fact, Rafael's total assets were only narrowly lost to the assets of Finance Minister Sri Mulyani of Rp. 58 billion out of a total of Rp. 67.2 billion deducted debt.
