JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said there had been no recent developments regarding the alleged odd transactions that occurred during the campaign. A long process is still being carried out because the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) only submitted an analysis report (LHA). "There is no update yet that we can convey what the process looks like," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters quoted on Thursday, January 11. Ali said that information from PPATK does need to be explored further. This is because the anti-corruption commission must ensure whether there is a corrupt practice of such transaction irregularities. The process that must be done is in the form of collecting complementary data, studies, analysis, and follow-up studies. Everything must be done carefully because it will determine the KPK follow-up, said Ali. If it is not bribery or gratification, then the KPK cannot follow up. The suspicious transaction is not necessarily then there is an allegation of corruption. Because the source of the original criminal act becomes the authority of PPATK which was then born by TPPU, for example, there are many, corruption is only (wrong, red) one... the rest (there is, red) 20 it is a criminal act of origin of general crime, explained. Previously, PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana mentioned transaction reports allegedly related to money laundering in the 2024 election campaign increased 100 percent in Semester II 2023. "We saw transactions related to the massive election once its report to PPATK. The increase was more than 100 percent. In cash transactions, suspicious financial transactions, we deepened this," said Ivan after attending the event. 'Dissemination: Securing of Cross-Border Crimes' in Jakarta, Thursday 14 December.

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