JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is still examining former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo. Later, investigators will analyze his statement before determining whether or not the former subordinate of the Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani will be detained. "Later, the KPK investigating team after conducting an examination will analyze further, yes, whether there is a need for detention of this suspect," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, April 3. Even so, Ali ensured that each KPK suspect would definitely be detained. "Nothing was later declared a suspect by us, no arrests were made. So this is a matter of time," he said. However, Ali reminded that this detention could not be carried out carelessly. There are subjective and objective conditions that must be met. "So that later the progress will be followed by friends. We will definitely inform you later in the afternoon or evening of the update of the results of the examination of the suspect," said Ali. Rafael Alun fulfilled the investigator's summons today, Monday, April 3. He was present at around 0.58 WIB wearing a batik shirt covered in a black leather jacket. Rafael did not make any statement. As soon as he arrived, he just rushed into the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. Arriving in the building, Rafael exchanged his identity card with identification. This time he got a red rope which means he is the party involved in one case. Reported recently, the KPK named Rafael Alun a suspect. He is suspected of receiving gratuities of up to tens of billions since 2011-2023 related to tax audits. This determination was made by the KPK after they investigated Rafael Alun's jumbo assets which were exposed after his son, Mario Dandy, abused a 17-year-old student, David. It is suspected that there was a game behind the ownership of a wealth of Rp56 billion. In this effort, investigators have asked for information from the Head of the East Jakarta Intermediate Tax Service Office (KPP) Wahono Saputro. This summons was made because his wife allegedly owns shares in the company owned by Rafael's wife, Erni Torondek. In addition, investigators are also investigating the findings of Rafael's safe deposit box in which there are billions of money. The findings that have been blocked by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) are suspected to have come from accepting bribes.
