JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the investigation of assets owned by former Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) official Rafael Alun would be worked on by two teams simultaneously. This process was carried out because the main case to ensnare Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani's subordinates was still being sought.

"In the future there will be an LHKPN team (State Administrators Wealth Report) and a team of investigators from the Deputy for Enforcement (moving, red)," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, March 9.

Ali did not want to further explain the investigation process related to Rafael's assets. This is because this process is carried out behind closed doors, unlike the investigation of alleged corruption.

"But we make sure we are doing the process," he said.

Publication will also not be delivered continuously. Usually, the anti-corruption commission will inform the investigation if they increase their status to investigation.

"Because once again in the investigation process the information is very limited. We can convey not everything as well as in the investigation process, which we publish every day who is called," said Ali.

As a reminder, Rafael's wealth was in the spotlight after his son, Mario Dandy Satrio, persecuted 17-year-old David. The video of the abuse was widely circulated on social media.

After the case was crowded on social media, Mario's video spread his wealth in the form of a Harley Davidson motorcycle highlighted by netizens. Not only that, but the public also highlighted the ownership of the Rubicon car he used when the persecution took place.

As a result, on March 1, the KPK asked Rafael to come to clarify his wealth which reached Rp56 billion based on the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN).

In the clarification process, the KPK investigated Rafael's assets. Among them, housing whose management company is in the name of his wife in North Minahasa and a house in Yogyakarta.

It didn't stop there, the Rubicon car that Mario often exhibited was also investigated by the KPK. Likewise with Rafael's Harley Davidson, which turned out to be not with a number plate or a fake.

Most recently, PPATK has blocked the accounts of Rafael Alun and a tax consultant whose names are allegedly borrowed for transactions or nominees. This effort is related to an unnatural transaction carried out by Rafael, who has assets of up to Rp56 billion.

PPATK also suspects that Rafael used professional money laundering services with other parties through nominees. However, PPATK Chairman Ivan Yustiavanda did not specify who they were.
