The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it will follow up on the alleged receipt of gratuities by the Attorney General's Office official, Asri Agung Putra.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika in response to public pressure after Dwi Okta Jelita or Jelita Jeje showed off that her family often got facilities from entrepreneurs to vacation abroad.

This celebgram is in the spotlight for defending the children of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Kaesang Pangarep and his wife, Erina Gudono, who are out of the country on a fantastic charter jet.

Meanwhile, Jeje is the son-in-law of Asri. She is also the wife of Farid Irfan Sidik who serves as the Head of the Bintan Free Trade Area (BP).

"The KPK will follow up on any information and input from the public," said Tessa in a written statement quoted on Monday, August 26.

Tessa appreciated the attitude of the public who conveyed the alleged fraudulent practice. "This is a form of community participation in eradicating corruption," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

"For people who know or have more complete initial information, they can also report it through the public complaint channel," he continued.

The story of Jelita which led to the alleged receipt of gratuities by Asri was initially busy on social media X. In a direct message (DM) Instagram screenshot, he admitted that he knew a lot because his father-in-law told him.

"Ehh, for a moment, private jets have been proven, it's not a private jet belonging to the state, after all, in the same class as the president, going for a walk, it's not a personal pocket, x Aplgi, the state money (this is the thought of ordinary people who don't know) so that state officials are linked to the state money. That's not the case," said Jelita Jeje in a message sent via DM via the Instagram account @jelitajee when defending Kaesang and Erina which was then viralized by the X account, @anibutnotanianiani.

I also know a lot from my parents-in-law, we cover overseas and cover entrepreneurs who really provide facilities without being asked, are told to choose where to stay, what plane to take, never dizzy, let alone in the president's class. In the fight, people want facilitation. So it's not using state money, let alone saying it's not the matter of the presidency," he continued, still in the same message.

Meanwhile, Asri is recorded to have assets of Rp. 3,403,008,378 or Rp. 3.40 billion and has no debt based on data from the e-LHKPN website. The Attorney General's Expert Staff reported their assets from 2019 to 2023.

In the latest report, he was recorded as having land and building assets worth Rp2,920,000,000. The locations are Bandar Lampung, Central Lampung, South Lampung, South Tangerang, and Bintan.

Asri is also recorded as having assets in the form of a motorized vehicle worth Rp274 million. The details are in the form of a 2003 Toyota sedan worth Rp100 million, an EX250L/Ninja 250 motorbike in 2016 worth Rp24 million, and a 2015 Honda Civic FB2 car worth Rp150 million.

Finally, he has other assets worth IDR 62.9 million, cash and cash equivalents of IDR 146.1 million.

Meanwhile, Jeje's husband, Farid Irfan Sidik, did not record his wealth report. In fact, he has served for two years or since 2022.
