JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata said the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) had sent an analysis report (LHA) regarding odd transactions during the campaign in the 2024 presidential election. He had asked his subordinates to follow up by studying and planning follow-up. " “ Yes, he said it had been sent (PPATK, ed) yesterday I received it and we (leaders, ed) just ordered to study, plan follow-up, and discuss it with the leadership," Alexander told reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, December 20. Even though he has received it, Alexander said he does not want to divulge the analysis report from PPATK. “ That's intelligence information, ” he said. He just emphasized that the follow-up must be done. The “ Pimpinan has asked to be studied, planned (next step, red), and discussed with the leadership. That's my disposition, "” said Alexander. Aexander said he did sign a disposition because the other anti-corruption commission leaders were out of town. In the future, Alexander said that the KPK has the opportunity to follow up if a criminal act of corruption is found from this odd transaction. However, this process still refers to Article 11 of the KPK Law Number 19 of 2019. “ Not only related to state officials. Article 11 concerns law enforcement officials, state administrators, and losses above Rp1 billion. There is an alternative. So if the loss is above Rp1 billion, private people can also be (acted, red),” he explained. In addition, his agency will also investigate where the odd transaction came from. “ We will see the source of the money, "” said Alexander. Previously reported, PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana said transaction reports allegedly related to money laundering in the 2024 election campaign increased 100 percent in Semester II 2023. "We see transactions related to the massive election report to PPATK. The increase is more than 100 percent. In cash transactions, suspicious financial transactions, we are investigating,” said Ivan after attending the event 'Dissemination: Distribution Results of Cross-Border Crimes' in Jakarta, Thursday 14 December.

According to Ivan, PPATK found several campaign activities without moving transactions in a special account of campaign funds (RKDK). "This means that there is a discrepancy. Campaign financing and all kinds of things come from where? If the RKDK doesn't move? We see the potential for someone to get an illegal source to help with the campaign," he said at the time.
