Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Investigators left Hanan Supangkat/DOK ANTARA/Risky Syukur's residence

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that the money found at the house of a businessman named Hanan Supangkat related to the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) Syahrul Yasin Limpo reached Rp. 15 billion. This finding was obtained when investigators searched his house on Wednesday, March 6.

"Some financial documents and cash were obtained. That's right, yesterday someone confirmed whether around Rp. 15 billion, more or less," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, March 8.

Ali said the money was found in rupiah denominations and foreign currencies. "We suspect it has something to do with the case that is currently being investigated by the KPK to complete the investigation process for the ML suspect SYL," he said.

The KPK confirmed that these findings would be analyzed and confirmed to a number of witnesses. "Because there are indeed several documents that are suspected to be the flow of records found in the search process," said Ali.

Previously reported, Hanan Supangkat, who is also the boss of PT Mulia Knitting Factory and former Chairman of the Ferrari Owners Club Indonesia (FOCI), had already been examined as a witness in the TPPU case that ensnared Syahrul on Friday, March 1. At that time, investigators investigated allegations of communication carried out with Syahrul and projects at the Ministry of Agriculture.

This process was carried out after the anti-corruption commission developed the extortion and gratification case that ensnared Syahrul Yasin Limpo. This allegation is currently being tried.

In the case of extortion and gratification, Syahrul was charged with extortion of up to Rp44.5 billion in the 2020-2023 period. This action was carried out together with the Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture Kasdi Subagyono and the Director of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery of the Directorate General of Infrastructure and Facilities of the Ministry of Agriculture Muhammad Hatta.

This money was then used for the benefit of Syahrul's wife and family, invited gifts, the NasDem Party, religious events, aircraft charters to Umrah and sacrifices. Then, he was also charged with receiving gratuities of Rp40.6 M from January 2020 to October 2023.
