Indonesian PPATK reveals dubious transactions implicating KPK treasurer


20.02.2012
The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) announced its latest findings on Monday, including dubious transactions that allegedly implicate a Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) treasurer.
PPATK chairman M Yusuf told members of the House of Representatives Commission III overseeing legal affairs that the official had made transactions of up to Rp 300 million (US$33,300).
Yusuf, however, declined to name the official concerned.
During the hearing, the center also reported dubious transactions involving judges, police officers and prosecutors.
“We are also currently pursuing more than 2,000 dubious transactions involving lawmakers, mostly from the budget commission,” Yusuf said.
In response to the findings, House deputy speaker Taufik Kurniawan called on law enforcers to follow up on their findings.
“The law enforcers should pursue these dubious transactions. The KPK must be in charge should matters involve corruption or, otherwise, the police should take charge in criminal cases,” Taufik said.
