| Mahfud MD |
Speaking at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Sleman on Wednesday (8/3), he revealed that the discovery of these questionable transactions is separate from the finding of anomalous wealth worth hundreds of billions of rupiah belonging to 69 Kemenkeu officials, as well as the Rp500 billion transactional activity by the Director General of Taxation Rafael Alun Trisambodo and his family.
Mahfud has already informed Finance Minister Sri Mulyani and Head of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) Ivan Yustiavandana about the latest discovery, which involves suspicious activity mostly within the Directorate General of Taxation and Customs.
Kemenkeu has yet to respond or issue an official statement regarding Mahfud's remarks.
Prior to this, Kemenkeu had already found unclear assets owned by 69 of its officials, and the PPATK had recorded the movement of funds in 40 accounts belonging to Rafael and his family.
These accounts contained information about various transactions, including credit, debit, and account balances on certain dates.
Mahfud also mentioned that he has submitted other reports to authorities regarding suspicious transactions outside of the PPATK's findings.
The Inspecter General of Kemenkeu, Awan Nurmawan Nuh, has previously stated that they have examined the wealth anomalies of internal officials.
As of now, there has been no official response from Kemenkeu regarding Mahfud's statements, and Reporter is still attempting to obtain a statement from them.
The discovery of these suspicious transactions has raised concerns about corruption and money laundering within the government.
Mahfud's call to track these transactions immediately highlights the urgency of the situation and the need for swift action to be taken to investigate and prevent such activities in the future.
It remains to be seen what further action will be taken by the relevant authorities to address these issues and ensure the integrity of the country's financial system.***
