The West
Java Prosecutors’ Office named the chief of the Bogor tax office a suspect in a
bribery case on Saturday. The tax man was caught red-handed receiving alleged
bribes as payment for waving a company’s taxes.

Deputy
Chief Prosecutor Jaya Kesuma said Anggrah allegedly allowed Gunung Emas to pay
only Rp 1.2 billion in taxes out of the total Rp 22 billion it was obligated to
pay.
“Based on
this morning’s investigation, we’ve found a sufficient indication of corruption.
Thus we will further investigate this case; we have named [Anggrah and Endang]
suspects,” Jaya said on Saturday.
“We’re
continuing the investigation because I don’t think it is possible that the
[bribe] was only Rp 300 million when the amount of the tax that should be paid
was reduced from Rp 22 billion to Rp 1.2 billion. We’re tracking where else the
money has gone,” he added.
Jaya said
both Anggrah and Endang allegedly abused Articles 5 and 12 in the corruption
law on bribery.
He further
explained that the KPK had handed over the case to the Attorney General’s
Office, which then gave it to the West Java prosecutors’ office.
“We heard
about the information on the bribery two months ago. We’ve studied this
information with the KPK. This is a collaboration between law enforcement
institutions,” Jaya said.
