JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the investigation into the jumbo assets of former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo continued. His objections to the public will not affect the process. "That then the person concerned conveyed whatever he had to. But what is certain is that we will still (investigate, red) what the legal rules are like, then what the second one will do," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, January 27. Ali said that in the future investigators will continue to make requests for information against parties suspected of knowing Rafael's jumbo assets. This step aims to gather materials and information. "So then it can be analyzed whether there are allegations of criminal events and who can be legally responsible," he said. "That's what we can say because the process is still ongoing," continued Ali. As previously reported, Rafael Alun expressed his objection to the alleged Money Laundering (TPPU). He emphasized that he always reports his assets and sources clearly through the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) which was submitted to the KPK. It didn't stop there, Mario Dandy's father who abused David Ozora was also confused by the ongoing investigation. Rafael suspects the attempt occurred because of the connection with his son's abuse case. Moreover, his wealth increased because it was said that there was an increase in the selling value of the tax object (NJOP). "So now it is enlivened and said it is not natural just because of the case carried out by my son, it has become odd because it has been reported since 2011," he said.
