JAKARTA - Former Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) official Rafael Alun Trisambodo was silent when asked about his resignation as a state civil servant (ASN) rejected by the Ministry of Finance. He did not make any statement regarding this decision. This question arose after Rafael was clarified by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today, Wednesday, March 1. He was questioned by the Directorate of State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) of the KPK regarding his wealth which reached Rp56 billion. When asked about the Ministry of Finance's decision regarding his resignation, Rafael chose to smile and rushed out of the KPK's Red and White Building area, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. However, he had stated that he had submitted the source of wealth he reported at the LHKPN for the 2021 period. "I've said that. I've been tired since morning. Please feel sorry for me, I'm tired, I'm tired," Rafael told reporters who asked for a statement from him at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 1. After many cases of abuse by his son, Mario Dandy Satrio, and his luxurious style were highlighted by the public, Rafael was removed from his position as Head of General Affairs at the Regional Office of DGT Jakarta II. However, he is still a state civil servant (ASN) of the Ministry of Finance. Furthermore, Rafael submitted his resignation on Friday, February 24. However, the Ministry of Finance decided not to grant the request on the grounds that he was still being investigated. "The submission of the resignation of Brother RAT was rejected," said Deputy Minister of Finance Suahasil Nazara at a press conference, Wednesday, March 1. This rejection is also in accordance with Number 11 of 2017 as amended to PP 17 of 2020 and the Regulation of the Head of BKN Number 3 of 2000. So, currently Rafael is still the ASN of the Ministry of Finance.
