In fact, the Center for Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis (PPATK) has reported it since 2013.

Thus, Mahfud asked PPATK to investigate Rafael's transaction. It turned out that there were allegations of money laundering (TPPU).

At that time, PPATK said that it had reported the alleged criminal offenses to several agencies including the KPK.

"The 2013 letter was continued to be shown to the KPK, not to the Minister of Finance, there was a letter. It has been reported sir that this person has not been resolved. 2013 the letter," he said.

Until finally, Mahfud confirmed to Firli Bahuri as chairman of the KPK. At that time, the retired National Police admitted that they did not know about the report from the PPATK.

"I conveyed to Mr. Firli, 'Mr. Firli has not been followed up', Mr. Firli said, 'Wow, I don't know the boss yet', after that I sent the letter, this is proof that the letter has been submitted to the KPK," said Mahfud.

Until finally, the KPK followed up on the results of the PPATK analysis by examining Rafael Alun Trisambodo some time ago.

"So it continues to be called because of my letter and the public screams of Rp 56 billion of unnatural wealth," said Mahfud.
