Jakarta. Disgraced customs official Andhi Pramono was accused of money laundering on Monday, in addition to the corruption charges that have put him under the detention of the Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK, since last month.

KPK spokesman Ali Fikri said investigators had evidence to suspect that Andhi disguised assets he had obtained from illegal sources.

"Based on the evidence, KPK investigators have brought money laundering charges against the official," Ali said without going into details.

"It's a reminder to whoever is tied to the ongoing KPK investigation to become cooperative." 

Andhi was named a corruption suspect on May 15 after the KPK summoned him over alleged undeclared wealth, following a public inquiry that was triggered by his social media posts flaunting luxurious vehicles and lavish lifestyle as the head of the customs office in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi.

The Financial Transaction Report and Analysis Center, or PPATK, also revealed suspicious transactions tied to Andhi.

Earlier this month, the KPK seized three expensive luxury vehicles --  a Hummer, a Toyota Roadster, and a Mini Morris -- and a luxury house belonging to Andhi during a search in Batam. 

In his previous filing in February last year, Andhi mentioned personal wealth worth Rp 13.7 billion ($891,000), comprising mostly lands and buildings.

He owns a house built on 513 square meters of land in Central Jakarta valued at Rp 4.9 billion. Andhi also has houses in Cianjur, Bogor, Salatiga, and Batam, according to his filing.

His assets also include nine cars and four motorcycles that according to his own valuation are worth Rp 1.8 billion.
