JAKARTA, Waspada.co.id – Head of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), Ivan Yustiavandana emphasized that the IDR 300 trillion odd transaction at the Ministry of Finance was not corruption or money laundering (TPPU). But odd transactions in customs, excise and taxes to be submitted to the Ministry of Finance.

However, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam), Mahfud MD stated that he was ready to be summoned by the Indonesian Parliament regarding his discussion of his statement regarding suspicions of IDR 300 trillion at the Ministry of Finance (Ministry of Finance).

He said this directly through his Twitter account, Remis @mohmahfudmd, Friday (17/3).

“I am ready to fulfill the DPR’s invitation to explain and show a list of suspected Rp300 trillion money laundering at the Ministry of Finance. This issue is indeed more fairly opened in the DPR. I’m not kidding regarding this,” wrote @mohmadfudmd, quoted on Saturday (18/3).

He explained that he and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) would not change the statement, because indeed since 2009 PPATK had submitted financial intelligence information to the Ministry of Finance regarding allegations of Rp300 trillion in money laundering.

“I am ready with authentic data to be shown to the DPR. Monday I am on standby, waiting for an invitation,” he explained.

“I suggest, look once more at the open statement of the head of PPATK at the Ministry of Finance last Tuesday. He did not say that the information was not corruption and not money laundering. Same as what I said, he said it was not corruption but a report on suspected money laundering that had to be followed up by investigators or the Ministry of Finance,” he concluded.
