JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has finished examining the son of former Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance Rafael Alun Trisambodo, Mario Dandy Satriyo on Monday, May 22. Investigators are questioning Mario about his father's assets, which allegedly came from receiving gratuities and were often exhibited.

"His knowledge was explored, among others, related to the alleged ownership of a luxury car that had been exhibited through the social media account of the person concerned," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, May 23.

One of the luxury cars asked by investigators was Rubicon in black. The four-wheeled vehicle, it is known that Mario is often exhibited and is even evidence of alleged abuse by David Ozora.

It was not specified what Ali was investigating by investigators. However, Mario's statement was confirmed to shed light on the alleged gratification and money laundering (TPPU) committed by Rafael.

Some time ago, it was revealed that the Rubicon that Mario used was on behalf of Ahmad Saefudin. He lives in a narrow alley in the Mampang Prapatan area, South Jakarta.

This car then became the focus of the KPK because it was busy on social media. Later, the Rubicon was said to belong to Rafael's brother who was used by Mario.

As previously reported, it is suspected that Rafael KPK received gratuities of 90,000 US dollars from several taxpayers through his company, PT Artha Mega Ekadhana (AME).

This acceptance is said to have occurred since 2011 when he served as Head of Audit, Investigation, and Tax Collection at the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes East Java 1.

Rafael's number of gratuities can still increase because investigators are still continuing to investigate. Given that the company has handled many clients who have difficulty reporting tax books.

Next, the KPK again named Rafael as a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU). He is suspected of diverting or disguising the hot money he received.
