The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has the opportunity to summon another party who is suspected of knowing the origin of the jumbo assets of the former Ministry of Finance's Directorate General of Taxes (Kemenkeu). This opportunity opens after the investigation is held.

"That currently with the KPK carrying out the investigation process, the opportunity to call other parties is getting wider," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Saturday, March 18.

Ali did not specify who else might be summoned. However, this summons should be evidence if the anti-corruption commission is serious about investigating Rafael's jumbo assets.

"Our seriousness is clear. Don't turn it around later," he said.

In addition, the KPK also ensures that there will be no conflict of interest in this investigation effort. Although Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata is one alma mater with Rafael Alun at the State Accounting College (STAN), this will not have any influence.

"We are committed to seriously handling this case. We have improved the investigation process, which means it is higher than just administrative at the LHKPN. That's right, so there are no problems," said Ali.

As previously reported, the KPK conducted an investigation into Rafael Alun's jumbo property which was uncovered after his son, Mario Dandy, abused a 17-year-old student, David. The investigation was carried out because it was suspected that there was a game behind the ownership of a wealth of Rp56 billion.

In an effort to investigate this, investigators have asked for information from the Head of the East Jakarta Intermediate Tax Service Office (KPP) Wahono Saputro. This summons was made because his wife allegedly owns shares in the company owned by Rafael's wife, Erni Torondek.

In addition, investigators are also investigating the findings of Rafael's safe deposit box in which there are billions of money. The findings that have been blocked by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) are suspected to have come from accepting bribes.
