JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to investigate assets belonging to the former Head of Makassar Customs Andhi Pramono, who allegedly came from the results of gratification and money laundering. This allegation was investigated by examining two witnesses, one of which was a notary and Land Deed Making Officer (PPAT), Sudi.

Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri said Sudi was questioned on Wednesday, August 2 yesterday. He was questioned by investigators as a witness with an entrepreneur named Faiz.

"The two witnesses were present and their knowledge was explored, among others, related to the ownership of several high economic value assets from the suspect AP," Ali said in his statement, Thursday, August 3.

Ali has not yet detailed what assets the anti-corruption commission is looking for. However, the statements of these two witnesses are believed to make Andhi clear.

Previously, the KPK had detained the former Head of Makassar Customs and Hi Pramono. He is suspected of receiving gratuities in the form of fees after becoming a broker for export-import entrepreneurs.

To make this acceptance, Andhi allegedly used an account belonging to his trusted person who was a businessman. They became nominees so that the gift to him was not detected.

It didn't stop there, Andhi was also suspected of committing a crime of money laundering (TPPU). This allegation arose because he disguised the purchase of assets using the names of other people, including his mother-in-law.

Andhi is said that the KPK received a fee of up to Rp28 billion and the amount could continue to grow. The money was then purchased for various purposes such as diamonds, insurance policies, to houses in the Pejaten area, South Jakarta worth Rp20 billion.
