The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating allegations of receiving gratuities within the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu).

This step is known from the schedule for summoning witnesses conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika, Monday, February 24.

"Today, the KPK has scheduled witness examinations related to alleged corruption in the form of gratification within the Ministry of Finance's DGT," said Tessa in a written statement.

Tessa said three witnesses were summoned. They were asked to come to the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

The witnesses who were asked to attend were Agnes Novella as Director of PT Panasia Synthetic Abadi; Arief Deny Patria as Director of PT Midas XChange Valasia for the 2012-2016 period; and Bagus Jalu Shakti as an agent of Insurance.

Tessa has not yet detailed this examination. Including the presence or absence of witnesses in front of investigators.

Meanwhile, a VOI source said that the gratification case being handled now is not the development of the case of former Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance, Rafael Alun.

There has been one suspect who was named through an investigation warrant (sprindik) signed on February 12, 2025. The initial is MH.
