JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) handed over the case file and Rafael Alun Trisambodo's indictment to the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Friday, August 18. So, in the near future, the former official of the Directorate General of Taxes will undergo trial.

"KPK Prosecutor Nur Haris Arhadi has finished handing over the case file and indictment of Defendant Rafael Alun Trisambodo to the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri in his statement, Saturday, August 19.

In the indictment file, the prosecutor charged Rafael Alun Trisambodo with Money Laundering (TPPU) and Gratification.

Mario Dandy Satriyo's father is suspected of doing money laundering for the period 2003 to 2010 amounting to Rp31.7 billion and the period 2011 to 2023 amounting to Rp26 billion, SGD 2 million, USD 937 thousand. As for gratuities worth Rp16.6 billion.

"The complete Prosecutor's Team will explain all the alleged criminal acts of the defendant in question in his indictment," he said

On the other hand, Ali said that the team of prosecutors was still waiting for the schedule for the inaugural trial for Rafael Alun Trisambodo. However, regarding detention, it is said that it has become the authority of the court. "The detention of Rafael Alun Trisambodo has transferred to the Corruption Court," said Ali.

As a reminder, it is suspected that the KPK received gratuities of 90,000 US dollars from several taxpayers through its company, PT Artha Mega Ekadhana (AME). This acceptance has 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 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.

In this development, investigators confiscated a number of Rafael's assets. Among them are Toyota Camry and Land Cruiser cars, a big motorbike of the Triumph 1,200 CC type.

It did not stop there, the anti-corruption commission confiscated 20 assets in the form of land and buildings spread across a number of cities such as Yogyakarta and Manado. The value reaches Rp150 billion.
