The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said intelligence data, including the analysis report (LHA) should not be disclosed to the public for any purpose. Each finding should be submitted directly to other law enforcement officers.

This was conveyed by the Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri regarding suspicious transactions of Rp. 349 trillion which was found by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK). This finding was busy when the public highlighted the jumbo assets of former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance, Rafael Alun.

"Actually, LHA and products from PPATK are information that is financial intelligence that cannot be opened in public spaces," Ali told reporters quoted on Tuesday, March 28.

"It is not allowed (intelligence products, ed) to be sold in public spaces. So that then it causes a miss interpretation," he continued.

The KPK reminded that similar incidents should not be repeated. In the future, Ali said, any intelligence data such as reports on the results of the analysis from the PPATK must be immediately submitted to law enforcement officials.

"So the one who analyzes (the follow-up, ed) is law enforcement. Is there a crime or whatever it is," said Ali.

"That there is a suspicious transaction and there is an alleged money laundering crime, the task of PPATK is correct. But the one who determines whether there is a crime or not, especially then corruption, bribery, or other crimes law enforcers must investigate," he explained.

Not only that, the KPK also asked other parties who received the analysis report not to participate in leaking information to the public. "This is a lesson in the future. There is no need to return the LHA results and then submit them in public spaces," he concluded.
