Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD revealed the moments of the disclosure of a deposit box containing IDR 37 billion belonging to Rafael Alun Trisambodo by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).

Initially, the former official of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance repeatedly visited certain banks. Thus, raising suspicions from the PPATK team.

"A few days ago he went to the deposit box. Then one morning he came to the bank to open it, immediately blocked by PPATK," Mahfud said during a press conference at the Ministry of Finance's office, Saturday, March 11.

After blocking it, PPATK is said to have coordinated directly with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The goal is to find a legal basis to open a deposit box.

Until finally, a legal basis was found that could open Rafael's deposit box 'forcedly'.

"One deposit box amounted to Rp37 billion in USD," said Mahfud.

Previously, it was reported that PPATK continued to track down assets belonging to Rafael Alun Trisambodo. Most recently, they found tens of billions of money in a safe deposit box at a bank.

The money stored was not in rupiah denominations, but in foreign currencies. However, this finding is different from the account mutation of up to Rp500 billion that was previously found.

"Yes (PPATK found money allegedly belonging to Rafael, ed)," said PPATK Chairman Ivan Yustiavandana.
