JAKARTA - The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) found an odd flow of funds based on checking the account data of recipients of social assistance (bansos) from the government. The value reached IDR 2 trillion.
Head of PPATK Ivan Yustiavandana stated that this value was the result of checking the accounts of social assistance recipients at a state-owned enterprise (BUMN) bank.
"A total of more than IDR 2 trillion is only in one state-owned bank, related to the millions of accounts recorded as social assistance recipient accounts," Ivan told VOI, Saturday, July 5.
This value is said to have the potential to increase. This is because there are still data on the accounts of social assistance recipients in three other state-owned banks that are being investigated.
In fact, it was also found that millions of accounts of social assistance recipients had been inactive since 2005 or over 10 years. The balance value is more than IDR 1 trillion.
"What we analyzed was that all the account data for the recipients of Social Assistance from the beginning was given from 2005 to June 2025," said Ivan.
Unfortunately, Ivan revealed that there were social assistance accounts that were misused by the recipients. One of them is used to play online gambling (judol).
"Yes, there are also many recipients of social assistance whose accounts have been misused, for judol and other interests outside the goal of providing social assistance by the government," he said.

On the other hand, Ivan emphasized that PPATK will check the flow of social assistance distribution funds. The goal is that government assistance can be right on target in accordance with President Prabowo Subianto's direction.
"We are carrying out the President's direction that Social Assistance must be given to our brothers and sisters who really need it, should not be wrongly targeted or used for other purposes," said Ivan.
