JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance Rafael Alun Trisambodo today, Monday, April 3. He was asked to cooperate in fulfilling the summons as a suspect in the alleged receipt of gratuities.

"We hope that the suspect is cooperative in attending," said Head of the News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Sunday, April 2.

Rafael is expected to be present at the KPK's Red and White House and provide information regarding the case that ensnared him. Ali ensured that the investigation of this case was in accordance with applicable legal regulations.

One of them, investigators have been sending summons since a few days ago. "We make sure we carry out the entire process according to legal provisions," he said.

"Including, we also give the suspect the same opportunity to exercise his rights," Ali continued.

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.
