JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the flow of money from former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL from Virda Wildan Syah who is an Associate Visi Law Office.
KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika said the request for information was made at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Thursday, April 17. Virda was worked on as a witness in the money laundering case (TPPU) that ensnared SYL.
"Investigators are investigating the flow of funds and knowledge concerned in money laundering allegedly committed by suspect SYL," Tessa told reporters in a written statement, Monday, April 21.
During the past week, investigators have summoned a number of employees at the Vision Law Office. They were investigated about the flow of money related to SYL's alleged corruption.
In addition, the KPK also searched the Visi Law office in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta on Wednesday, March 19. A number of documents and electronic evidence were then confiscated by investigators.
Meanwhile, Visi Law is the law firm's office established by former KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah and former Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) researcher Donal Fariz. Rasamala then joined in 2021.

When the SYL case surfaced, Febri and Rasamala later became lawyers for the NasDem Party politician before finally being revoked. Meanwhile, Donal Fariz claimed not to participate in handling the case
As previously reported, former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo is still a suspect in alleged money laundering. This step was taken after the KPK developed cases of extortion and acceptance of gratuities that ensnared him.
In this case, the anti-corruption commission has confiscated a number of assets that Syahrul allegedly bought with money from corruption. Among them is a white-twisted Mitsubishi Sport Dakar hidden in an empty land in the Makassar area, South Sulawesi.
