JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it would continue to monitor non-fungible tokens (NFT) that could be used as a means of money laundering. This monitoring is carried out as a form of preventing corruption.

"This will be in the 2022 program, of course we will take action to monitor that direction," said KPK Deputy Chair Lili Pintauli Siregar, quoted from the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Thursday, January 27.

However, in the monitoring process, the KPK requires sophisticated equipment. Moreover, this token is a unique and verified digital file on the digital ledger.

"Right now, we don't (have the tools, ed)," said Lili.

"We just need better equipment because we are still rejuvenating the equipment. This is part of our notes at the meeting," he added.

As previously reported, Lili Pintauli said that NFT could be a means of money laundering. Moreover, this digital file contains a unique identity.

He conveyed this in a working meeting with Commission III of the DPR RI at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta on Wednesday, January 26.

In addition, the Corruption Eradication Commission considers that NFT can be one of the tools used for perpetrators of money laundering. Not only that, Lili assessed that the purchase of this token could also use money from corruption.

"This, of course, has the potential to be used in money laundering," said Lili during the meeting.

"Someone can also make this NFT and buy it with illegitimate money," he added.
