JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) gave an ultimatum to a witness named Ari Muladi to fulfill the investigator's summons. He should have testified in the case of money laundering of former Papua Governor Lukas Enembe but was absent on Monday, September 18. "Witnesses were not present and without providing confirmation of his absence from the investigative team," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, September 20. Ali reminded Ari, who is a former convict of the attempted bribery of the head of the anti-corruption commission in the era of Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M Hamzah, who fulfilled the next summons. "The time has been determined by investigators. KPK reminds him to be cooperative in accordance with the next summons schedule,'' he said. 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 to get projects in Papua. From this money laundering case, there are 27 assets belonging to Lukas confiscated by the KPK. Among them money worth Rp81,628,693,000; 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.
