JAKARTA - The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) was involved in investigating illegal levies (extortion) at the Class I Detention Center in East Jakarta, the Merah Putih building branch. They have provided coordination and provided data related to the allegation to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"Yes, coordination from the start was even. It has been some time ago," said PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana to reporters, Friday, June 23.

Ivan did not specify the value of the transaction related to the case. He only emphasized that all information was in the hands of the anti-corruption commission.

"All the data is there, yes," he said.

Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri some time ago confirmed coordination with PPATK to investigate this alleged extortion. This is because the perpetrator is suspected of carrying out multiple transactions.

"KPK also synergizes cooperation with PPATK, because this is suspected to be through transactions," Ali told reporters, Wednesday, June 21.

"Indeed, this seems more complex so it will take time to complete the investigation process," he continued.

Previously, the KPK Supervisory Board found allegations of illegal levies at the KPK Detention Center. The value is fantastic to reach Rp4 billion and has been carried out since December 2021-March 2022.

Based on this finding, Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur said the investigation was currently underway. Anyone involved will be brushed indiscriminately.

"KPK will not indiscriminately take law enforcement efforts. Currently, the status is being investigated," Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur told reporters, Monday, January 19.
