IDXChannel - Head of the Reporting Division of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Ali Fikri said that the anti-graft watchdog had named former official at the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo (RAT) as a suspect.
Rafael was named a suspect for allegedly receiving gratuities in the form of money.
"It's in the form of money [gratification]. It will later be investigated further," he said at his office on Thursday (30/3/2023).
Previously, Rafael had been questioned, both by the KPK’s prevention team and Investigation team. Rafael reportedly has assets that are inconsistent with his position as an echelon III official at DGT.
The irregularities were first discovered by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK). The PPATK's findings were then studied by the KPK .
At present, the KPK has obtained sufficient initial evidence to elevate the status of the case to the advanced investigation stage. In line with that, the KPK has also named Rafael as a suspect. (WHY)
