The Corruption Eradication COMMISSION (KPK) has opened an opportunity to develop a money laundering case that ensnared former Director General of Taxes Rafael Alun Trisambodo. His family’s involvement was investigated.

“It is very possible (to ensnare Rafael Alun’s family),” said KPK spokesperson Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto at the KPK’s Red and White Building, South Jakarta, Friday, November 8 2024.

This possibility could be opened because the public prosecutor (JPU) at the Corruption Eradication Committee revealed the role of Rafael’s family in the money laundering case. This assertion was made during a civil lawsuit trial regarding the confiscation of evidence by the Anti-Corruption Agency.

The possibility of ensnaring Rafael’s family depends on the sufficiency of the evidence. The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) is currently studying the activity of each party in laundering the money of those convicted in the gratification and money laundering cases.

“If the testimony and evidence supports this, it is possible that the parties suspected of enjoying or having an active role in the case could be held accountable,” said Tessa.

The KPK is now waiting for the prosecutor’s report to investigate the role of the Rafael family in the money laundering case. Detailed information cannot be provided at this time.

“Come back later, of course, the public prosecutor who was conveyed earlier will coordinate with the leadership, will report, and will discuss it internally,” said Tessa.

Previously, the Central Jakarta District Court held a trial regarding objections to the confiscation of assets belonging to Rafael Alun Trisambodo on October 17 2024. The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) was the respondent in the case.

KPK spokesperson Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto explained that her party was ready to attend the first trial which was held today. In total, there are four parties who sued the Anti-Corruption Agency.

“The submission of the objection was based on the existence of a number of assets that were also confiscated and confiscated for the state in the case of gratification corruption and TPPU in the name of the convict Rafael Alun Trisambodo,” said Tessa in a written statement, Thursday, October 17 2024.

The four parties are CV Sonokoling Cita Rasa, Petrus Giri Hesniawan, Markus Seloadji, and Martinus Gangsar. Their lawsuits are different.

The corporation is suing the Innova and Grand Max cars confiscated by the KPK. Meanwhile, the remaining three people are suing for the confiscation of EUR9,800, SGD2,098,365 and USD937,900.

Then, the three people also sued for the confiscation of jewelry in the form of six rings, two necklaces, five earrings and one pendant. Then, they also sued houses in Kebayoran and Srengseng, as well as a shophouse in Meruya.

“Then two kiosks in Kalibata City, Tower Ebony, GF Block E floor numbers BM 08 and BM 09, and one VW Caravelle car with registration number AB 1253 AQ,” said Tessa. (M-4)

**Interview with Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto, KPK Spokesperson**

**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Tessa. There have⁤ been significant developments regarding the case ⁤of⁣ Rafael Alun Trisambodo and the potential involvement of his ‍family. Can you explain why​ the KPK is now looking into ​the family’s role in this case?

**Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto:** Thank you for having me.⁤ The KPK has opened the possibility of investigating Rafael Alun’s family due to emerging evidence that suggests their potential involvement⁣ in⁢ the money laundering activities related to his case. During‌ a recent trial concerning the confiscation ⁤of⁢ evidence, the ‌public ⁤prosecutor ⁢revealed details that prompted us to take a closer⁤ look.

**Editor:** What‍ specific ⁤evidence or testimony has⁣ led the KPK to consider investigating Rafael’s family?

**Tessa:** While we ⁢cannot go into specifics at this moment, the evidence presented⁢ during the civil lawsuit ‌indicated ⁢that there might be ⁣connections or roles played by family members in the ‍alleged money laundering. We are currently studying all activities related to the case to determine if any family members could be held accountable.

**Editor:** You mentioned that‌ the investigation⁤ will depend on the ⁣sufficiency of the evidence. What kind of evidence or testimonies would be required to proceed?

**Tessa:** For us to move forward with ⁢any charges against family members, we would need ⁣substantial testimony and evidence that clearly illustrate their involvement‍ or benefits from the alleged activities. It’s a thorough process that ensures all‍ parties are fairly ⁤examined.

**Editor:** How long do you anticipate this investigation might take before any conclusions or further actions are announced?

**Tessa:** It’s hard to provide an exact timeline as it will largely depend on the findings of the public prosecutor’s report and ⁤how quickly we can gather the necessary evidence. ⁢However, we are committed to moving forward as swiftly as possible while ensuring⁣ due diligence.

**Editor:** Thank you, Tessa. We appreciate your insights and look forward to updates from the KPK as ‍this case develops.
