JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) invites the public to report other assets belonging to the inactive Probolinggo Regent Puput Tantriana Sari and her husband, Hasan Aminuddin, who have been charged with money laundering (TPPU).

The invitation was conveyed so that the anti-corruption commission investigators immediately found out where the assets allegedly came from the bribes received by Puput and confiscated them.

"The resolution of this case requires the participation of the community. For that, those who know information regarding the alleged ownership of the assets of the suspects, please submit it to the KPK," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Sector Ali Fikri in a written statement quoted on Wednesday, February 23.

Ali said the public could report through the 198 call center or other official KPK channels.

Furthermore, he said that the KPK investigators were continuously trying to complete the evidence of the alleged money laundering act by Puput and Hasan. Most recently, the anti-corruption commission has even confiscated assets in the form of land and buildings worth IDR 50 billion.

"In the alleged ML case on behalf of PTS et al, so far the KPK investigation team has confiscated various land and buildings as well as other economic value assets with a total amount of around Rp. 50 billion," said Ali.

"Currently, the KPK investigation team is still completing the evidence and further tracing the alleged assets of the suspects from the proceeds of corruption," he added.

As previously reported, the KPK is currently investigating allegations of corruption committed by Puput and Hasan and other parties related to allegations of bribery in the sale and purchase of positions, gratuities, and money laundering (TPPU).

In the bribery case of buying and selling positions, the KPK has named 22 people as suspects. They consist of 4 bribe recipients and 18 bribe givers.

The bribes given by ASN in the Probolinggo Regency Government are carried out so that they can serve as village head officials. Each person is required to pay Rp. 20 million and the village land tribute of Rp. 5 million per hectare.

The four recipients were Probolinggo Regent Puput Tantriana Sari, DPR member Hasan Aminuddin, Krejengan Sub-district Head Doddy Kurniawan, and Paiton Sub-district Head Muhamad Ridwan.

Meanwhile, 18 donors namely Sumanto, Ali Wafa, Mawardi, Mashudi, Maliha, Mohammad Bambang, Masruhen, Abdul Wafi, Kho'im, Akhmad Saifullah, Jaelani, Uhar, Nurul Hadi, Nuruh Huda, Hasan, Sahir, Sugito, and Syamsuddin as suspects giver.
