JAKARTA - The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) noted that 92 accounts belonging to the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) have frozen. Freezing is carried out to analyze suspicious transactions.

"We have temporarily suspended 92 accounts of FPI organizations and affiliated parties for the purposes of PPATK analysis and examination," said PPATK Chairman Dian Ediana Rae in her statement, Tuesday, January 19.

But Diana was reluctant to elaborate on the owner of the frozen account. He only said that at this time PPATK had almost finished managing dozens of accounts.

"A mixture of ex-FPI accounts and those affiliated with former FPI organizations," he said

Later, after completing the results of the analysis, the results will be submitted to the National Police for follow-up. This is because the National Police is one of the institutions that enforces the prohibition on FPI activities.

"We are working hard to finish it as soon as possible, hopefully we can finish it by the end of the month," said Diana.

"And we will submit the results to the law enforcement apparatus (Police) as part of law enforcement on the prohibition of activities of FPI organizations," he continued.

Previously, this account suspension was carried out to analyze whether there were suspicious transactions from dozens of accounts belonging to FPI. This followed the ban on all FPI activities in accordance with the 4 ministerial decree.

"After being disbanded, we took steps. An organization may not be active, so it can be ascertained whether any money is used for activities that are not in accordance with the law," he said.

Apart from that, the freezing of these accounts was also according to the rules. This is because the PPATK has the authority to do so and is in accordance with the mandate of the Law.

"I explained that our law, TPPU Law No. 8 2010, gave PPATK authority. Based on that we conducted an analysis of suspicious financial transactions," he said.
