JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the clarification of the state administrator's assets report (LHKPN) of the former Head of Purwakarta Customs Rahmady Effendy had not yielded any results. They are still waiting for financial records from the bank.

Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK, Pahala Nainggolan, said that the financial record was needed because the money from the investment value of Rp. 7 billion which became a polemic would be investigated.

"The origin of the money for investment (in the company, ed) is again seen by the flow of funds from banks," said Pahala when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, June 4.

"But, red) the bank has not been sent (until now, red)," he continued.

Pahala ensured that an in-depth investigation of the origin of the investment money would be carried out. Moreover, Rahmady is suspected of providing a loan of Rp. 7 billion or exceeding his wealth of only Rp. 6 billion and ending up with dispute problems.

As previously reported, Purwakarta Customs Head Rahmady Effendy Hutahaean has undergone a request for clarification regarding his assets by the KPK LHKPN Directorate some time ago. However, he did not make any statements after leaving the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

Meanwhile, he is in the public spotlight because he is suspected of involving his family in carrying out official affairs. Rahmady was then removed from his position after undergoing an internal examination.

In addition, Rahmady was also reported to the KPK by Andreas, who is an advocate from the Law Office of Eternity Global Lawfirm. He questioned Rahmady's LHKPN in the report.

The reason is that Rahmady's wife, Margaret Christina, gave a loan of IDR 7 billion to Wijanto Tirtasana, who is Andreas' client. This incident occurred in 2017.

The loan requirement is to make Margaret the main commissioner and shareholder by 40 percent. However, there was a threat from Rahmady and his wife against Wijanto so that Andreas as legal counsel traced it and knew the official's wealth.
