TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) announced that it has obtained the identities of the two regional leaders incriminated in the alleged casino money laundering scheme. The anti-graft watchdog also said it might be a cover for “major project deviations.”
“I guess the deviations don’t just stop there. It also exists in major projects,” said KPK Chairman Agus Rahardjo at the KPK headquarters on Tuesday, December 17.
Without revealing the identities of the regional heads, Agus said the subordinates of the two people involved have been officially named as suspects. KPK is eyeing to have the two lead authorities to the regional heads themselves.
“We sure hope the development will head there,” said Agus.
Previously, the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) suspected there were a number of professional money laundering businesses that acted as consultants in Indonesia and helped corruptors avoid law enforcers. The analysis center also revealed an Indonesian regional head who laundered money in an overseas casino.
