KPK Alludes To Managing Many Cases Of Money Laundering Even Though The Money Laundering Committee Is Not Involved

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it had handled many allegations of corruption in the crime of money laundering (TPPU). One of them is in the alleged corruption case of BI Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds and the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo when asked about the change in the composition of the National Coordination Committee for the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering by President Prabowo Subianto in accordance with Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 88 of 2025 which was signed on August 25, 2025. The anti-corruption commission is known to have not been involved even though there are Attorney General and Chief of Police in it.

The KPK itself in several case handlings also imposes a money laundering article when a criminal act is also fulfilled. Whether it's hiding or moving the proceeds from corruption as a predicate crime, "Budi told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, September 22.

"For example, in the case of social programs at Bank Indonesia, the KPK also applies, in addition to the gratification article for the two suspects who have been determined to be subject to the money laundering offense article," continued Budi.

Budi said the KPK's habit of implementing money laundering articles aims to maximize the return of state losses.

"Not only to provide a deterrent effect to the perpetrators, but also how we can optimally restore it," he said.

Even so, the KPK still appreciates the existence of the committee. "We understand that the money laundering offenses are diverse, not only corruption crimes," said Budi.

The committee chairperson is appointed as Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections. The following are the full details of the Prabowo formation committee:

Chairman: Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, And Corrections

Deputy Chairperson: Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs

Secretary concurrently Member: Head of Center for Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis (PPATK)
