Rubiandini Named Suspect In Money Laundering Case

Jakarta, Nov 14 (Antara) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named former Chief of Special Task Forces for the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory (SKK Migas) Rudi Rubiandini as a suspect in a money laundering case. "After conducting an investigation, we also found evidence of money laundering by the suspect Rudi Rubiandini," KPK`s spokesman Johan Budi said on Thursday. Rudi allegedly violated Regulation Number 8/2010 related to money laundering. He had also been named as a suspect in a corruption case on Aug. 14 after being caught red handed for receiving bribe money amounting to US$ 200,000 from the commissioner of PT Kernel Indonesia Simon Tanjaya. The bribe was delivered via Rudi`s golf coach Deviardi the night before. Earlier KPK officials had seized some of Rudi`s assets namely a house in Menteng Dalam (South Jakarta), a house in Bandung city (West Java province), cash worth 127,000 Singapore dollars, US$90,000, a luxurious BMW motorcycle, US$350,000 in a Bank Mandiri deposit box and 180 grams of gold in Rudi`s deposit box in his office at the SKK Migas building.
