JAKARTA - Coordinator of the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) Boyamin Saiman encouraged law enforcement officials to track down the alleged Director of PT CLM with the initials ZAS who hid his assets abroad to avoid taxes. This is related to the listing of ZAS names on the Offshore Laks list released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalist (ICIJ).

"MAKI encourages law enforcement officials such as the KPK and the Attorney General's Office to track down allegations that ZAS is hiding his assets abroad to avoid taxes," Boyamin told reporters, Friday, May 5.

So according to him, if it is proven to have hidden his property abroad, then the person concerned is worthy of a tax legal process. "Yes, such as fines, administration or being held hostage, even the highest level of investigation is carried out related to tax crimes or tax evasion," he said.

According to him, if the legal process can be carried out, there will be severe sanctions waiting. Namely, the person concerned may not be a management until the shareholder of a company.

"Well, if it can be processed, the person concerned can also be given additional sanctions, namely not being a company administrator or not being a shareholder," he said.

He also asked law enforcement to conduct an in-depth investigation regarding the ICIJ Offshore Leaks list without waiting for reports from the public.

"Our law enforcement should start now to clear up all names including ZAS which is suspected to be related to the Panama Papers and Pandora Papers related to what was revealed by ICIJ Leaks, who is also Indonesia Leaks, has also published it. So yes, everything is processed if there are allegations of tax embezzlement," he continued.

Moreover, he said, the assets that were allegedly hidden could be from criminal acts, such as money laundering. So according to Boyamin, this must be resolved immediately.

"So everyone who is registered or registered in the Panama Papers and the Pandora Papers must be investigated by our law enforcers," he said.

Furthermore, Boyamin also requested that assets abroad be brought home. "If confiscation is not carried out, because it could be related to money laundering," he said.
