Indonesia’s PPATK Hands over Suspicious Transaction Data to Finance Ministry

Previously, Sri Mulyani urged PPATK to be transparent about suspicious transaction data worth 300 trillion rupiahs within the ministry.

The minister already received a report from PPATK regarding the suspicious transaction, but the suspicious transaction of 300 trillion rupiahs could not be found in the report.

Therefore, Sri Mulyani said that she did not know the origin of the transaction.

"Until now, I have not received information regarding the 300 trillion rupiahs, where the transactions come from, what transactions are involved, and who is involved," she told a press conference at the ministry building in Jakarta on Saturday, March 11.

"In the letter that Mr. Ivan [head of PPATK] sent to me on Thursday, the letter only stated the number of letters submitted by PPATK and the list of cases, but no amount in rupiah was provided," she said.

Therefore, Sri Mulyani urged PPATK to disclose the transaction data in detail, starting from the value per transaction, the source of the transaction, to who is involved.

She said the ministry is very open if the data from suspicious transactions can be used as legal evidence for further action.
