JAKARTA - Finance Minister Sri Mulyani will cooperate with Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD to carry out 'clean-up' actions against a number of chaos at the Ministry of Finance.

Previously, Mahfud MD revealed, a number of suspicious transactions at the Ministry of Finance worth IDR 300 trillion were an accumulation since 2009 involving 460 people.

"And I promise Mr. Mahfud, 'Come on, Mr. Mahfud, I'm being helped. I'm happy to help. We want to clean it up, we clean it up', but with the same data, with the same facts," Sri Mulyani said as quoted from the Presidential Secretariat Youtube, Friday, March 10.

Regarding the findings of the Rp300 trillion transaction, Sri Mulyani revealed that she had received a letter related to suspicious transactions from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) but she had not seen the Rp300 trillion figure in question.

"Regarding Rp. 300 trillion, I frankly haven't seen it because in the letter there is no figure. Later, when I return to Jakarta, I will talk again with Mr. Mahfud and Mr. Ivan (Head of PPATK) where did the figures come from? So I have the same information as the media and the public," he explained.

Mahfud conveyed a suspicious transaction of Rp. 300 trillion.

The findings, said Mahfud, were outside the Rp500 billion transaction from the account of former Directorate General of Taxes Rafael Alun Trisambodo and his family who had been frozen by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).

Mahfud said the report since 2009 regarding the odd transaction did not immediately receive a response until it finally piled up.
