JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has appealed the decision of former Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo by the Corruption Court at the South Jakarta District Court (PN).
Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri said the appeal for this decision was made today, Friday, January 12. The consideration analysis has been carried out.
The Panel of Judges at the Corruption Court sentenced Rafael to 14 years in prison for being proven to have received gratuities and money laundering (TPPU). He is also required to pay a fine of Rp. 10 billion and a fine.
"After the KPK Prosecutor's Team analyzed the considerations of the panel of judges, the team of prosecutors has filed an appeal to the High Court through the Central Jakarta District Court regarding the decision of the panel of judges," Ali said in a written statement.
Ali said the appeal was filed because the judge did not consider some legal facts, including about assets suspected of being the result of his crimes. In fact, this is important to optimize asset returns to the state.
"As part of the deterrent effect, we are trying to optimize asset recovery from corruption crimes by confiscation and confiscation to be returned to the state," he said.
