inance Minister Sri Mulyani has suggested that tax officers might want to look into the wealth of Fredrich Yunadi, the lawyer of graft suspect Setya Novanto, after the lawyer revealed his expensive shopping habits in a TV interview.
“[The interview] is good, because he has actually conducted voluntary disclosure [of his wealth],” Sri Mulyani said, as reported by tempo.co on Monday.
In the interview with former TV journalist Najwa Shihab, Fedrich gave the public a glimpse into his luxurious life.
“I bought an Hermes bag priced at Rp 1 billion. I like luxury,” said Fedrich in the interview published on YouTube on Friday.
Sri Mulyani said the Directorate General of Taxation could immediately check the wealth of the lawyer, but she stressed that the result of any investigation would not be made public, as tax information was confidential.
Sri Mulyani said she would be happy if more conducted voluntary disclosure, because that would help tax officers do their job. (bbn)
