JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will clarify the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) of the former Head of Yogyakarta Customs, Eko Darmanto, on Monday, February 6. They will pick up the ball by asking for information in the Yogyakarta area.

"The team went there (Yogyakarta, ed) on Monday," said KPK Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring Pahala Nainggolan to reporters, Friday, March 3.

Pahala said clarification would be made at Eko's office. This is allowed because the request for information is not related to a criminal act.

"This is not a criminal examination. So we don't use the space for other law enforcement officers," he said.

After clarification, this team will move to check the assets belonging to Eko and former Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) official Rafael Alun Trisambodo.

It is known, Rafael also has assets in the Student City. Therefore, the KPK will also move at the same time in checking.

Previously, the KPK revealed the reason for clarifying Eko's wealth was carried out because the amount of debt recorded in LHKPN was quite fantastic. He is recorded as having a debt of Rp. 9 billion.

This amount then raises question marks because Eko only has a salary of Rp. 500 million per year and he has a large collection of luxury cars.

For information, LHKPN Eko noted that he had assets of Rp. 15.7 billion but was reduced by debts of Rp. 9 billion so that the amount shrank to Rp. 6.7 billion. The report was submitted on December 31, 2021.

From LHKPN, it was recorded that Eko's Rp. 12.5 billion was in the form of two land and building assets in Malang and North Jakarta. Meanwhile, Rp. 2.9 billion includes 9 means of transportation.

In detail, Eko owns a BMW sedan 2018 for IDR 850 million, a Mercedes Benz sedan 2018 worth IDR 600 million, a Jeep Willys 1944 for IDR 150 million, a Chevrolet Bell Air 1955 IDR 200 million, a Toyota Fortuner 2019 worth IDR 400 million.

Then, Mazda 2019 for IDR 200 million, Fargo Dodge 1957 worth IDR 150 million, Chevrolet Apache 1957 IDR 200 million, and Ford Bronco 1972 for IDR 150 million. All of these vehicles are registered for their own results.

However, no big motorbikes are registered in the LHKPN. In fact, Eko often uploads videos showing off Davidson's Harley.
