JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Trimedya Panjaitan, was surprised by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD who opened a suspicious transaction of IDR 349 trillion within the Ministry of Finance recently. In fact, so far there have been many things in the political and legal spheres that require the voice of Mahfud MD. "What people question is why Mr. Mahfud talks like this, like three years so where has the Coordinating Minister been Mr. Mahfud? Including at the most crucial time the KPK Bill which was considered the pulse of eradicating corruption, almost couldn't be heard by Mr. Mahfud's voice," said Trimedya during a Hearing Meeting with Mahfud MD at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, March 29. This PDIP politician added that it was actually legal if Mahfud had just conveyed this to the public. However, it cannot close the possibility of a return question from the public. "There is nothing wrong with Mr. Mahfud, people say what is wrong with Mr. Mahfud, departing from consciousness or Mr. Mahfud is dancing on stage so that someone proposes," said Trimedya. According to Trimedya, in the blood of Mahfud MD, there are actually three elements, namely academics, activists and politicians. Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD was present at the RDP with Commission III of the DPR RI. On that occasion, Mahfud 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. Mahfud explained that the data was divided into three 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 Rp53.82 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.
