JAKARTA - Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian confirmed that he would submit the legal process to the apparatus if the regional head was proven to be playing online gambling based on the findings of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).
Tito admitted that in the near future he would explore information related to PPATK's findings that regional regional parties were involved in online gambling. "It can also be submitted to law enforcement officials, whether the KPK, the Prosecutor's Office, or the National Police to clarify," said Tito after attending a working meeting with the DPR RI at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Thursday, June 27, which was confiscated by Antara. In addition, according to him, currently there are as many as 270 definitive regional heads and 273 regional heads with acting status.
Tito will also ask PPATK for information about the names of the regional heads in question.
According to him, the Ministry of Home Affairs has its own mechanism to take action if there are regional heads involved in legal problems. The sanctions can be in the form of warnings and even removal from their positions. In addition, he said that PPATK's findings are usually suspicious transactions, so if the data is received from the PPATK, then his party will also clarify first to the person concerned.
If these allegations are true, then he will not hesitate to announce the names of regional heads who play online gambling. "And remember the risks, yes. Negative things will have an impact on electability," said Tito.
