The National Police is to work together with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate the graft case of former tax official Gayus Tambunan, spokesperson Insp. Gen. Anton Bachrul Alam said Thursday.
"For [the] Gayus [case], a joint investigation has been formed between the National Police and the KPK," he said in a text message to The Jakarta Post.
Earlier this week, the police revealed that they had sent a letter to the Finance MInistry requesting the ministry grant them the permission to examine tax documents of the companies that Gayus had mentioned in court as ones contributing to the unusually large sum of money in his accounts.
Gayus, a low-ranking tax officer, is believed to have around Rp 90 billion in the form of cash and gold. Gayus is suspected of gaining his wealth through illegal means by abusing his position at the tax office.
The KPK has said that it had also requested permission to probe the companies that allegedly paid Gayus.
