Lukas Enembe Allegedly Exchanged Billions Of Rupiah Money To Valas

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe ordered people to exchange rupiah currency into foreign currency. The information was obtained from a witness, Agus Gunawan, who is an entrepreneur.

"Witnesses were present and their knowledge was explored, among others, related to the alleged order of the suspect LE to exchange tens of billions of money into foreign currency," said Head of the KPK News Section Lukas Enembe to reporters, Friday, August 25.

Ali did not specify the exact amount and the origin of the money. However, Agus' statement is considered to be clear about the crime of money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared Lukas.

Previously reported, Lukas allegedly received bribes from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijatono Lakka. Meanwhile, gratification is allegedly given by other private parties in order to get projects in Papua.

Not only that, Lukas was charged with alleged money laundering. This step was taken after the KPK developed the bribery and gratification case that ensnared him.

Regarding money laundering, 27 of Lukas' assets were confiscated by the KPK. Among them are money worth Rp. 81,628,693,000; 5,100 US dollars; and 26,300 Singapore dollars; assets in the form of land and buildings; as well as precious metals.
