Graft defendant Insp. Gen. Djoko Susilo said the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) had no right to seize assets obtained before the enactment of the 2010 Money Laundering Law.

Your comments:


How about the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) asking for his tax returns? It is quite sure that he did not report income tax on the full amount of his assets. So, the government could legally collect the back taxes and impose the 24 percent payment interest per year. Surely, there would not be much left afterwards?

Be serious Djoko, no one earns that kind of money.

It doesn't matter when the Money Laundering Law was brought in; at the end of the day he has been stealing money for a very long time and it is impossible to amass that kind of money on all the salaries he was making.

Djoko, accept your punishment. You have been made a scapegoat for bigger police fish, but that's just how it is.

He has over Rp 50 billion in assets from his Rp 90 million monthly salary. How could anyone conclude that they were obtained legally?
