The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) stated that it was continuing to investigate allegations by former Directorate General of Taxes Rafael Alun Trisambodo. Recently, investigators are investigating the receipt of bribes from other parties.

"It does not stop at the process that has been carried out. If the investigation is a TPPU gratification, it must be deepening whether there is a receipt of bribes," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, June 12.

Ali ensured that anyone suspected of bribing Rafael would be investigated. "So that we can be held accountable by other parties as bribes," he said.

"It's definitely the direction there, but what is certain is that the basis for the adequacy of the evidence," Ali continued.

Rafael is suspected of having received gratuities of 90,000 US dollars from several taxpayers through his company, PT Artha Mega Ekadhana (AME). This acceptance has occurred since 2011 when he served as Head of Audit, Investigation, and Tax Collection at the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes East Java 1.

Rafael's number of gratuities can still increase because investigators are still continuing to investigate. Given that the company has handled many clients who have difficulty reporting tax books.

Next, the KPK again named Rafael as a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU). He is suspected of diverting or disguising the hot money he received.

In this development, investigators confiscated a number of Rafael's assets. Among them are Toyota Camry and Land Cruiser cars, big motorbikes of the Triumph 1,200 CC type to rented buildings in Meruya, West Jakarta and boarding houses in Blok M, South Jakarta.
