Transactions Of Rp300 Billion Former Head Of The Investigative Task Force Claimed By The KPK Regarding Business

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has claimed that the suspicious transaction carried out by the former Head of the Special Task Force Investigator Tri Suhartanto was not related to his work at the KPK. This allegation has been confirmed.

"The transaction is only money circulating in accounts because there is a personal business", said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Monday, July 3.

Ali said the business had been running since 2004 so it had nothing to do with Tri's work at the KPK.

Tri is known to have joined the KPK at the end of 2018. He then finished his duties in February 2023 and was promoted as Kapolres Kotabaru, South Kalimantan.

"(The signing, red) is far from joining", he said.

"Even since 2018 the account in question has also been closed", Ali continued.

As previously reported, Novel Baswedan revealed that there was a suspicious transaction carried out by a former KPK employee. The former KPK investigator said the value was no joke.

"The transaction value is IDR 300 billion, and I suspect more, some say it is almost IDR 1 trillion even", Novel said in a YouTube show quoted on Monday, July 3.

The unnamed employee worked in the era of KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri, said Novel. The former employee used to work as an investigator but had been returned to the Police.
