JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that another alleged corruption practice committed by the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe was being sought. Development from the original crime, namely bribery and gratification, is currently being carried out.

"Just wait. Because the development is quite a lot," said KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur to reporters, Monday, March 20.

Asep did not specify the development of the case that ensnared Lukas. However, the process is ensured to continue to be carried out with the principle of prudence.

"There is an investigation, there is an investigation," he said.

Meanwhile, for the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) that might ensnare Lukas, Asep did not want to talk much. "It is in the process, it is in the process," he said.

Previously reported, Lukas Enembe has been named a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification. He is suspected of accepting bribes from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijatono Lakka.

In addition, he is said to have received gratuities from other private parties to get projects in Papua.

In an effort to investigate the case that ensnared Lukas, about 90 witnesses were examined. They consist of various elements including digital forensics, forensic accounting experts, and health experts.

It did not stop there, the KPK had also confiscated around Rp50.7 billion in cash; gold bullion, a ring of precious stones, and four cars. This confiscation was carried out to complete evidence of fraudulent practices carried out by the regional head.

Then, investigators frozen the account in the name of Lukas and related parties, which contained money amounting to Rp81.8 billion and 31,559 Singapore dollars.
