PPATK Investigates The Flow Of Funds Related To Brigadier J's Case, Blocks The Accounts Of The Parties Involved

JAKARTA - The Center for Transaction Reports and Analysis (PPATK) intervened to investigate the flow of funds behind the case of Brigadier J's murder.

It is suspected that the blocking was related to a transaction from Brigadier J's account worth Rp. 200 million. The transaction is said to have occurred three days after his death.

"Yes (block account, ed)," said PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana to VOI, Thursday, August 18.

However, it is not explained in detail about the number of blocked accounts. Including the owner of the account.

This money issue was previously disclosed by the family lawyer, Brigadier Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J, Kamaruddin Simanjuntak. He said he found a transaction worth Rp. 200 million from his client's account. The transaction was said to have taken place a few days after Brigadier J died. However, Kamaruddin was reluctant to detail the suspect in question. In fact, in the case of the murder of Brigadier J, the Police have named four suspects namely Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, Bharada Richard Eliezer, Bripda Ricky Rizal, and Strong Maruf.

Kamaruddin said the transaction from Brigadier J's account involved various parties, especially the bank.

"It is true what I said that on July 11, 2022 it was still a transaction, dead people sent money," said Kamaruddin.
