The figure for money laundering by Rafael Alun is suspected to be around Rp. 100 billion. Yudi said the figure was proof that the public’s suspicions about the origins of Rafael Alun’s wealth had been proven.

“Nearly Rp. 100 billion in Rafael Alun’s assets confiscated by KPK investigators proves that the suspicions of the public and netizens about the origin of Rafael’s wealth have become a reality,” Yudi told reporters, Saturday (3/6/2023).

According to Yudi, the move to confiscate assets belonging to Rafael Alun by KPK investigators also corroborated the corruption that had been committed by the former Director General of Taxes.

“There were allegations of other acts of corruption committed by Rafael Alun which were found by KPK investigators so that investigators confiscated his assets as a predicate crime in corruption cases being investigated by the KPK,” said Yudi.

Even so, Yudi reminded that the KPK still needs to investigate the flow of money and transactions by Rafael Alun. He believes that Rafael Alun’s laundering was not done alone.

“Criminal acts of corruption and money laundering cannot be done alone,” he said.
