Ivan only mentioned the context of the discussion, should be questioned by the Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi.

"Maybe you can confirm with the Minister of State Secretariat, yes," said Ivan.

Ivan said the temporary blocking was also carried out as part of PPATK's efforts to protect the public interest, as well as maintain the integrity of the Indonesian financial system.

"The temporary suspension of domestic account transactions aims to provide protection to account owners, as well as prevent misuse by irresponsible parties," said Ivan, in Jakarta, Sunday, May 18.
