JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Money (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo disguised the receipt of money through a tax consulting firm. This allegation was investigated by Ujeng Arsateko, an entrepreneur.

"The witness was present and his knowledge was investigated, among others, related to the alleged receipt of money through several tax companies and consultants affiliated with the suspect RAT," said Head of the News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Thursday, July 13.

Penerimaan uang lewat perusahaan ini diduga sudah terjadi selama belasan tahun. Ujeng diduga tahu sehingga penyidik meminta keterangannya pada Rabu, 12 Juli.

"The receipt is in the period 2011 to 2023," said Ali.

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, a big motorbike of the Triumph 1,200 CC type.

It did not stop there, the anti-corruption commission confiscated 20 assets in the form of land and buildings spread across a number of cities such as Yogyakarta and Manado. The value reaches Rp150 billion.
