JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that former Purwakarta Customs Head Rahmady Effendy Hutahaean had a fertilizer import company. This finding was obtained after his state administrator's wealth report (LHKPN) was clarified.

"We have seen what it says, it turns out that he has a fertilizer importer company. That's his wife, the main commissioner there," said KPK Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring Pahala Nainggolan to reporters, Tuesday, June 11.

Pahala then said there was an allegation that Rahmady's assets reached Rp6 billion because of the company's ownership which resulted in mutual reporting. Referred here (the owner of the company, ed) who is reporting to the Regional Police and Bareskrim, who also reported the LHKPN," he said.

Even so, the anti-corruption commission continues to move to check Rahmady's wealth. Moreover, he was reported to the KPK for lending up to Rp7 billion or greater than his assets.

"But even though we also said that the company, we have limited access and the company cannot see all the finances," explained Pahala.

"So we have invited him and he explained that this is an outside business," he continued.

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 Legal Office of Eternity Global Law Firm. 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.
