JAKARTA - Head of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) Ivan Yustiavandana said that his party found a number of political practices of money through e-money and e-wallet during the 2024 election campaign. According to him, this is not included in the indication of the case. However, his party admitted to finding a massive increase in suspicious financial transactions. Yes, there is (money politics) through e-money or e-wallet. We find indeed a massive increase in suspicious transactions related to contestation parties whose name we get (in) DCT (fixed candidate list), Ivan said in his statement, Thursday, December 14. He continued, throughout the PPATK experience in elections, special accounts of campaign funds (RKDK) tend to move flat. In fact, transactions are moving from other parties.

"We ask where all kinds of campaign financing comes from if the RKDK does not move. We see that there is a potential for people to get sources from illegal results to be used to help like that," he said. In this case, PPATK admitted that it had sent letters to the KPU and Bawaslu to follow up on this matter.
