Tax Officer Mafia Case Reopened

The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) on Monday pointed out that a bribery case allegedly involving Denok Taviperiana and Totok Hendriyatno, two employees of the Directorate General of Taxation, has been reopened by the police. “They [the police] sent a letter saying that they’re reinvestigating the two,” PPATK chief Muhammad Yusuf said at the House of Representatives (DPR).

The police stopped investigating the case involving Denok because no evidence was found which led to the crime, which reportedly also involved money laundering activities. Documents received by TEMPO showed that, in the police investigation reports, funds owned by Denok—Rp4billion worth of insurance and deposits—did not come from criminal activities. The finding was taken into consideration when the Jakarta police decided to stop the investigation in Nov. 22, 2007.

National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Saut Usman Nasution commented that he has yet to be informed on the case reopening. “I need to confirm that first,” said the spokesman
