The Background of Corruption

The problem of corruption that swept the country like a disease that will never heal. Various facts and realities disclosed by the media as if it represents a national identity that can be seen from the culture of corruption that has become commonplace for all circles, starting from the bottom up to the elite. 


Many cases of corruption hitherto unknown tip base. One is the corruption cases committed by an employee of the tax class IIIA, which could stir Police Headquarters, Gaius Tambunan. Surprise everyone on what has been done by Gaius Tambunan is a natural thing. Because if we look at the status that was just an ordinary civil servants, but have so much savings, worth Rp. 25 billion, this course invites question: Especially if not corruption? In fact, the daily work of Gaius reviewers objected only to the tax (appeals), individuals and legal entities at the Head Office Directorate of Taxes. Given the level of salaries tax type IIIA is ranging from Rp 1,655,800 to Rp 1,869,300 per month, it is asserted that a Tambunan Gaius must have done a fraud that could harm the State and society at large. 


As has been reported by various media that the name Gaius Tambunan started sticking when mentioned by former Kabareskrim Komjen Susno Duadji as someone who is closely related to a case a broker. Susno mention Gaius has $ 25 billion in their accounts, but only $ 395 million that the state confiscated. The remaining Rp 24.6 billion evaporate somewhere. Susno pointed out that there is involvement of the body's own police in the case of manipulation of the tax investigation. 


Gayus then charged the police with three chapters, namely chaptersfraud, money laundering, and corruption. But at the trial Gayus onlyrequired by article embezzlement, was sentenced by a judge with apenalty of 1 year trial, then released. There are many irregularities in the trial Gayus that time, among others about the threat ofpunishment that was lighter than provisions of the Act, the demandsof prosecutors who just a matter of embezzlement charges, as well as deployment of the trial conducted on Friday, at the Tangerang District Court, which usually not held criminal trials.


Gayus mode violation by utilizing its authority manifold. In his position as an employee of Sub Directorate of AppealsDirectorate of Objection and Appeals, in mid-2007 Gayusmanaged to win more than 40 cases of appeal of the company.Related to this, Gayus has a great chance to win the Directorate General of Tax in tax court, namely the difference between winningan appeal play. For example, a taxpayer should pay tax to Rp 3billion. Then he objected, and then rejected the appeal. In the taxcourt upheld an appeal Gayus taxpayer. In addition, according tothe Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW), allegedly manipulatingGayus mode with play exchange tax amount when dealing with taxBumi Resources 2002-2005. The result of these manipulationslead to reduced tax liabilities up to U.S. $ 164.627 thousand.


Now Gayus Tambunan again designated as the defendant andsnared article plated namely corruption, money laundering andfraud. Gayus case is now widened and involve a number ofparties. His name is sticking out again when he allegedly free to roam out of house arrest. Gayus Tambunan, somehow, get thespecial treatment that is unreasonable.


Recent developments of the handling of corruption cases Gaius Tambunan increasingly making people uncomfortable. Gaius Tambunan as corruption suspects as though afraid that he has the power always get preferential treatment. Finally, he returned to get preferential treatment before the law, the police just trick them with articles of gratification, in which he was sentenced only to a maximum of 3 years in prison. In many cases that never existed, someone who ensnared article gratification often escape the law.This then causes the crisis of public confidence in the performance of law enforcement in dealing with the case of Gaius. Therefore many people who insist that the case of Gaius ditangai by the KPK. However, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono himself still assert that the case remains Gaius ditangai by police. In fact, it has been clearly shown that the Police Department itself is not serious in handling corruption cases Gaius causing this case does not meet the ends. 


This then becomes an important question for us all. What's wrong with this country? Why is corruption still can prevail and lives in the bodies of all institutions, even in an institution should have an obligation to combat corruption itself. It's a challenge for the nation and the State in regulating and managing life
