Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD revealed aggregate data on alleged money laundering (TPPU) within 2009-2023. The data is related to his statement regarding odd transactions of IDR 349 trillion within the Ministry of Finance.

He explained that the data was divided into 3 groups obtained from the PPATK analysis report.

The explanation, continued Mahfud, was also to straighten out the statement of the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani to the previous House of Representatives Commission XI.

The first is odd transactions involving Ministry of Finance employees with a total value of Rp35 trillion, not what the Minister of Finance had conveyed as much as Rp3 trillion.

"Yesterday, Mrs. Sri Mulyani in Commission XI said that only Rp. 3 trillion, which is true Rp. 35 trillion," Mahfud explained in a hearing meeting

Then secondly, odd transactions involving Ministry of Finance employees and other parties, the value reached Rp 53.82 trillion.

Furthermore, odd transactions related to the authority of the Ministry of Finance as investigators for criminal acts of origin (TPA) and money laundering offenses amounted to Rp260.50 trillion. Thus, the total reached Rp349 trillion.

Mahfud said the Minister of Finance when he found out about it was shocked. According to him, the data did not reach him because it was stopped in the ranks of his subordinates. Although Mahfud acknowledged, the data was informed by PPATK in 2009.

"Because the person who received the by hand letter was the person there, who told Mrs. Sri Mulyani, ma'am, there was no letter. Well, said PPATK, the letter was only explained, but it was different," said Mahfud.
