JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) protested that it had not yet received a complete copy of the decision on the alleged receipt of gratuities and money laundering (TPPU) for Rafael Alun Trisambodo. In fact, they will file an appeal.

"From the information we received, so far the KPK Prosecutor Team has not received a complete copy of the decision of the Panel of Judges at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court with the defendant Rafael Alun Trisambodo," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Friday, January 26.

Ali said the prosecutor's team had filed an appeal deed. So they asked for a copy of the decision to be received immediately.

"This decision is the basis for compiling the memorandum of appeal in order to maintain legal facts and juridical analysis of the prosecution team's demands," he said.

"We hope that a copy of the decision can be sent immediately and we will immediately compile the memorandum of appeal," Ali continued.

As previously reported, former Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance Rafael Alun Trisambodo was found guilty of receiving gratuities and committing money laundering (TPPU). The amount of money he received reached Rp. 10 billion through PT ARME.

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.

However, the gratuity charges of a number of companies that were said to have not been proven were not proven. Rafael did a presumptuous practice with his wife, Ernie Mieke Torondek.
