If all of them are repressive, suddenly our prisons are not enough, sir," he added.

If one account is closed the website, the account is still moving. The person doesn't dare to take it so that it becomes an unclaimed account," he said.

He said one account could be a total of billions of rupiah. The allegation is, sir, he said it could reach hundreds of billions," continued Habiburokhman.

Habiburokhman also encouraged PPATK to report the data to law enforcement officials so that it could be followed up. If it is indeed a crime resulting from a crime, it will be submitted to the relevant law enforcers. It's pretty good that it can go into the state treasury in the end," he concluded.
