JAKARTA - Lawyer Rasamala Aritonang remained silent after being questioned by the Corruption Eradication Commission. He did not provide any information regarding the examination as a witness in the money laundering case (TPPU) that ensnared former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo.
From observations at the KPK's Red and White building, Rasamala, who is also a former KPK employee, was questioned at around 16.37 WIB. He has been questioned by investigators since 10.30 WIB, 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.
