Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD emphasized that suspicious transactions that reached Rp300 trillion within the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) were not related to corruption. But the alleged money laundering (TPPU).

"When I announced Rp. 300 trillion, I talked about money laundering, not corruption," Mahfud said during a press conference at the Ministry of Finance's office, Saturday, March 11.

In addition, Mahfud also reiterated his statement that the suspicious transaction related to money laundering offenses involved hundreds of Ministry of Finance employees. In fact, it has been happening for a long time.

Meanwhile, if it is related to criminal acts of corruption, the Ministry of Finance is believed to have a mechanism for prevention or handling.

"There are strange transactions involving hundreds of employees of the Ministry of Finance who are suspected of being money laundering, not corruption. Because corruption here is the mechanism," said Mahfud.

Meanwhile, Mahfud previously explained that based on the PPATK report, suspicious transactions had been found to reach Rp300 trillion within the Ministry of Finance in the 2009-2023 period involving approximately 467 employees.

The findings 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).
