DPR Will Meet Mahfud MD and Sri Mulyani Regarding Data Differences

JawaPos.com – Commission III of the DPR RI will hold a meeting presenting the Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD, Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani, and Head of PPATK Ivan Yustiavandana regarding differences in the value of suspicious transactions at the Ministry of Finance.

“We will invite the Minister of Finance, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs and the Head of PPATK to synchronize the results of the report that the Coordinating Minister has as Chair of the National Coordinating Committee for the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes (TPPU) with the Minister of Finance, because there are very big differences,” said Deputy Chairperson of the Commission III DPR Ahmad Sahroni at the Parliament Complex, Wednesday (29/3) evening.

According to Sahroni, the reports regarding suspicious transactions submitted by Mahfud and Sri Mulyani were very different. Mahfud said that he had data on the value of odd transactions reaching Rp. 349 trillion, while Sri Mulyani said that it was only around Rp. 189 trillion during 2017-2019.

“Of the Rp. 349 trillion that was conveyed by PPATK earlier, Rp. 189 trillion was reported twice, between the first reporting Rp. 180 trillion and Rp. 189 trillion. So both of them will be a confirmation of togetherness to investigate further,” said Sahroni.

Previously, Mahfud MD said that there were 491 state civil apparatus entities (ASN) from the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) who were involved in the alleged money laundering offenses worth IDR 349 ​​trillion.

“There are 491 entities involved here from the Ministry of Finance,” said Mahfud in a Public Hearing Meeting (RDPU) with Commission III of the Indonesian Parliament, at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday (29/3) evening.

He revealed that the 491 ASN Kemenkeu entities consisted of three groups of analysis results reports (LHA). According to Mahfud, the first category is suspicious financial transactions of Ministry of Finance employees with a total of IDR 35 trillion involving 461 Ministry of Finance ASN entities.

Second, suspicious financial transactions that allegedly involve Ministry of Finance employees and other parties. The transaction value of the second category above is IDR 53 trillion with 30 ASN Kemenkeu entities involved.

Third, suspicious financial transactions related to the authority of the Ministry of Finance as an investigator for non-origin crimes and ML for which data on employee involvement in the ministry has not yet been obtained.

For the latter category, the number of transactions reached IDR 260 trillion and did not involve the Ministry of Finance’s ASN entities. Mahfud stressed that do not involve Rafael Alun in this alleged ML case because Rafael was involved in a different case.

“Rafael has been arrested, done. In this report there is a network. Not Rafael, that’s a crime, not TPPU,” said Mahfud MD.
