A
team from the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim) has continued to confiscate assets and documents from suspects in a case surrounding illegal levy practices at Palaran Container Terminal in Samarinda, East Kalimantan.
Police sealed on Thursday a house located on Jl. Harun Nafsi, Samarinda Seberang, which belongs to Samudera Sejahtera Cooperative (Komura) secretary Dwi Hariwinarno, one of the suspects.
One day earlier, the Bareskrim team confiscated five cars and five motorcycles from the house. The team has also seized a plot of land belonging to Hariwinarno at the 5-kilometer point of Jl.Soekarno-Hatta, or the Samarinda-Balikpapan highway, and sealed houses on Jl. Mas Penghulu and in the Komura Housing complex.
“The moves are in line with facts we found during the investigation,” said Sr.Comr. Hengki Haryadi, the head of the special and economic crime investigation subdirectorate at Bareskrim.
The police further said they would seal a shop-house on Jl. Pattimura once the court issued the necessary order.
From the private residence of Komura head Jafar Abdul Gafar on Jl. Tanjung Aru, the police confiscated one computer and documents. Jafar’s whereabouts remain unknown.
Police also searched a house on Jl. Danau Toba, which is also the office of suspect Heri Susanto alias Abun, the head of cargo cooperative Pemuda Demokrat Indonesia Bersatu (PDIB).
The asset confiscation began following a raid in March, during which the police revealed Rp 6.1 billion (US$ 457,031.52) worth of illegal fee practices at Komura, a loading and unloading workers cooperative in Samarinda.
“I remind you all to be careful. Serve the people as well as possible because the Saber Pungli illegal levy eradication task force has continued to work,” President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo commented during his visit in Samarinda on March 17. (ebf)
