North Sumatra Tax Employees Allegedly Affected By Illegal Investments, Complains Not Responding To Reports

The issue that entangled the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) seems to continue after the problems that befell high-ranking tax official Rafael Alun Trisambodo alias RAT.

Most recently, there was an acknowledgment from the Ministry of Finance's tax employee on behalf of Bursok Anthony Marton who felt disappointed because his complaint did not receive a positive response.

Tax employees with the position of Head of Sub-Administrative and Household of the North Sumatra II DGT Regional Office shared issues related to indications of state losses in digital financial transactions.

He said that he had invested $500 in certain virtual trading apps in 2019. Problems arose as he tried to withdraw his funds of 100 US dollars but was rejected by the virtual app.

Investigate a calibaration, Bursok found that this application was not officially registered and did not even have NPWP. He himself has reported this with evidence of TKT-21E711063 reports and eml-2022-0020-9d33 register numbers and Eml-2022-0023-24a6 on 27 May 2021.

"Not followed up at all. Even closed by the minister by stating that my complaint had been transferred to the OJK," he was quoted as saying on Thursday, March 2.

Bursok also traced to OJK. However, he was surprised to find that OJK did not receive the delegation.

He asked for certainty from related parties, especially the Ministry of Finance and the Police to follow up on this case.

"The case that I complained about was ignored," he said.

Previously, the public had been shocked by the RAT problem because it was suspected of having jumbo assets for a state civil servant (ASN).

Not only that, the Head of the Yogyakarta Customs Office, Eko Darmono, is also being investigated because he is considered to have violated the ethics of ASN by showing luxury to the public on social media.
