Rafael Square's Mode Revealed, Mahfud: Had Opened A Deposit Box, Before Being Blocked By PPATK

Rafael Alun Trisambodo who was removed from his position from the Head of the General Section of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the South Jakarta Regional Office II

Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD said Rafael Trisambodo had opened another deposit box before the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) had blocked him.

Meanwhile, PPATK blocked deposit boxes of former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance, which contained Rp37 billion in cash.

"The Rp 56 (billion) Rafael (LHKPN) is not reasonable, suddenly the Rp500 (billion) is filled with intelligence. After that, we meet again in a locker box of Rp37 (billion). Not to mention that some of the lockers have been opened before that," Mahfud said during a press conference at the Ministry of Finance office, Saturday, March 11.

Rafael's actions were also said to be included in the category of money laundering (TPPU). However, it has not been clearly detailed the elements of the unlawful act committed by Mario Dandy Satriyo's father.

"It's money laundering if it's in the TPPU law," said Mahfud.

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.

Currently, the KPK has decided to investigate the origin of Rafael Alun's wealth. The reason is that his assets are considered unnatural.
