JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned the private sector, Ari Muladi as a witness in the alleged money laundering case (TPPU) of the former Papua Governor Lukas Enembe.

The former convict who tried to bribe the head of the anti-corruption commission in the era of Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M Hamzah was summoned today, Monday, September 18. Investigators suspect he knows about the money laundering carried out by Lukas.

"The investigative team has scheduled witness examination," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, September 18.

For information, Ari once tried to give Rp5.1 billion to Bibit and Chandra and KPK Deputy for Enforcement Ade Rahardja. The money came from businessman Anggado Wijoyo so that the KPK would not continue to investigate the corruption case of the Integrated Radio Communication System (SKRT).

This gift was initially admitted directly to three KPK officials. Later, Ari later admitted that the money was given to Yulianto but was not proven.

Returning to Ari's examination, Ali has not detailed the material that investigators will ask. However, Ari was also summoned along with another witness, namely civil servant (PNS) Fernando Arario Rinto.

Previously reported, the alleged money laundering committed by Lukas was revealed after the KPK ensnared him in bribery and gratification cases.

In the bribery case, he allegedly received money 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.

From this money laundering case, 27 of Lukas' assets were confiscated by the KPK. Among them are money worth Rp. 81,628,693,000; 5,100 US dollars; and 26,300 Singapore dollars; assets in the form of land and buildings; as well as precious metals.

In addition, investigators are also investigating the ownership of private aircraft and it is suspected that Lukas laundered money by buying shares of airlines or aviation companies. This information was once investigated by the Director of Administration of PT RDG, Khoirul Anam; Mutmainah who is a private employee; and the Security Apartment of Kemang Nirvana, Yogi Handriono.
