JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has finished investigating allegations of bribery and gratification by the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. He will soon face the court process. "The formal and material requirements are complete," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, May 12. Investigators, said Ali, have also handed over Lukas as a suspect along with evidence to the prosecutor. The handover was made today "This process is for the alleged bribery case," he said. Previously reported, Lukas allegedly received bribes from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijatono Lakka. Meanwhile, gratification is allegedly given by other private parties in order to get projects in Papua. Tak hanya itu, Lukas dijerat dengan dugaan pidana pencucian uang. Langkah ini dilakukan setelah komisi antirasuah mengembangkan kasus suap dan gratifikasi yang menjeratnya. In an effort to investigate the case that ensnared Lukas, about 90 witnesses were examined. They consist of various elements including digital forensics, forensic accounting experts, and health experts. It did not stop there, the KPK had also confiscated around Rp50.7 billion in cash; gold bullion, a ring of precious stones, and four cars. This confiscation was carried out to complete evidence of fraudulent practices carried out by the regional head. Then, investigators frozen the account in the name of Lukas and related parties, which contained money amounting to Rp81.8 billion and 31,559 Singapore dollars.

Most recently, investigators also confiscated a hotel in Jayapura which allegedly belonged to Lukas some time ago. The value of this asset reaches Rp40 billion.
