Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD emphasized that there was no longer any difference in data between the Ministry of Finance and what he explained during a hearing with Commission III of the DPR. Deputy Minister of Finance Suahasil Nazara has just explained that the Ministry of Finance and the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs have harmonized the presentation of odd transaction data of Rp. 349 trillion from 300 different letters.

"Finally it's clear, right? The Deputy Minister of Finance admits that there is no difference in data between the Ministry of Finance and the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs/PPATK regarding the alleged money laundering," Mahfud said on his Twitter account, @mohmahfudmd, Friday, March 31.

Mahfud said it was exactly what he said in the DPR regarding the difference, only how to sort data. "Now it's just law enforcement," he added.

From what he conveyed with Commission III of the DPR, it only needed to be explained in more detail regarding the alleged money laundering of Rp. 189 trillion from customs data which turned into tax reports.

"It's all the same. The 189 trillions are different, we'll explain later," he said.

Previously, in a joint meeting with Commission III of the DPR, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs and Chairman of the TPPU Committee Mahfud MD explained the odd transaction of IDR 349 trillion within the Ministry of Finance.

All of them are aggregate data on alleged money laundering (TPPU) in the period 2009-2023.

Mahfud divided the transaction into 3 groups, the first worth Rp35 trillion involving Ministry of Finance employees. He straightened out the total not as stated by the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani as much as Rp3 trillion.

"Yesterday, Mrs. Sri Mulyani at Commission XI said that only Rp. 3 trillion was true, Rp. 35 trillion," explained Mahfud in a meeting with Commission III of the DPR which was also attended by PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana and Kabareskrim Komjen Agus Andrianto, Wednesday, March 29.

Then the second, he continued, was an odd transaction involving Ministry of Finance employees and other parties, the value reached Rp 53.82 trillion.

Furthermore, the three 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.
