The inactive Governor of Papua, Lukas Enembe, will be tried at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court. The files and indictments have been transferred. "KPK Prosecutor Arif Rahman Irsady has finished handing over case files and indictments related to accepting bribes and gratuities with the defendant Lukas Enembe to the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, May 31. Ali said Lukas was charged with receiving tens of billions of rupiah. He is said to have received it from the private sector. "The prosecutor's team charged a total of Rp46.8 billion which was received by the defendant Lukas Enembe," he explained. Now, the anti-corruption commission is waiting for the first trial. Meanwhile, Lukas is now a court prisoner. "The agenda for the trial for reading the indictment is still waiting for the issuance of the day of the trial from the Tipikor Panmud," said Ali. Previously reported, Lukas allegedly received bribes from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijatono Lakka. Meanwhile, gratification is allegedly given by other private parties in order to get projects in Papua. Tak hanya itu, Lukas dijerat dengan dugaan pidana pencucian uang. Langkah ini dilakukan setelah komisi antirasuah mengembangkan kasus suap dan gratifikasi yang menjeratnya. 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.

Most recently, investigators also confiscated a hotel in Jayapura which allegedly belonged to Lukas some time ago. The value of this asset reaches Rp40 billion.
