JAKARTA - The KPK is investigating the alleged concealment of a number of assets belonging to the inactive Probolinggo Regent Puput Tantriana Sari (PTS) using the name of another party.

The Corruption Eradication Commission has explored this by examining four witnesses at the KPK Building, Jakarta, Monday, May 30 in the investigation into the alleged receipt of gratuities and money laundering that ensnared Puput Tantriana.

"It was confirmed, among other things, regarding the alleged concealment of a number of assets belonging to the PTS suspect using the names of other parties," said Acting KPK Spokesperson, Ali Fikri, in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, May 31.

Four witnesses, namely Fajar Nugraha Eka Putra by profession as an advocate and three private parties, namely Muhammad Arief Budhi Santoso, Roni Y Hoetomo, and Luqmanul Hakim.

Previously, the KPK had named Puput and her husband, who is a former member of the DPR from the NasDem faction and also the former Regent of Probolinggo, Hasan Aminuddin (HA), as suspects in cases of alleged receipt of gratuities and money laundering.

The KPK has also confiscated various properties and other economic value assets with a total amount of around IDR 50 billion in the alleged money laundering case of Puput Tantriana.

The various property assets of Puput in Probolinggo Regency that have been confiscated by the KPK are land and buildings in Sukabumi Village, three plots of land in Karangren Village, one plot of land in Alaskandang Village, and one plot of land in Sumberlele Village.

The case is a development of a bribery case related to the selection of positions within the Probolinggo Regency Government which previously also ensnared Puput and Hasan as suspects.
