VIDEO: PPATK Finds Suspicious Fund Flow Of IDR 195 Billion, Allegedly To The Treasurer Of Political Parties

JAKARTA - PPATK found a suspicious flow of funds amounting to Rp. 195 billion to the treasurer of political parties with indications of the alleged money laundry. The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) found a flow of Rp. 195 billion from abroad to 21 accounts allegedly belonging to the treasurer of political parties.

PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana said there was an increase in foreign transactions. Previously there were 8,270 transactions in 2022 and increased to 9,164 transactions in 2023. And the treasurer of the political party in question is suspected to be the treasurer of parties in various regions, but Ivan did not elaborate further on which parties were involved.

Along with the increase in transactions, it turns out that PPATK also recorded the amount of funds received by the party treasurers. Ivan said that the flow of funds received reached IDR 195 billion, an increase from the receipt of funds in 2022 which amounted to IDR 83 billion.

According to him, the suspicious transaction is suspected to be related to the Special Campaign Fund Account (RKDK). Based on the PPATK experience, RKDK is usually used to finance campaign activities carried out by each political party.

However, PPATK did not find RKDK to finance political campaign activities and accounts tended to be flat, aka there were no outgoing fund transactions. Watch the video below.
