JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Ibnu Basuki Widodo revealed that most corruptors in Indonesia are men. The data owned by the KPK, the number even reaches 81 percent.
This was conveyed by Ibnu when he was a speaker at an event entitled 'Socialization of Strengthening Integrity and Anti-Corruption Practices' in commemoration of IKAHI's 73rd anniversary last week.
"Usually the perpetrators are mostly men, sir. 81% are men," said Ibnu as quoted from the Purwokerto District Court's YouTube channel, Monday, April 20.
The high number, continued Ibnu, is finally related to the pattern of distributing money from corruption by the perpetrators. After meeting the needs of the family to social activities, the corruptors are said to often be confused about hiding the remaining haram money.
"Once corruption, this corruptor has been given everything. Money for the wife has been given, the family has been given, the child has been given. For charity, worship has been given. For donations here and there has been given, for picnics has been given. For savings has been given. He was confused. Where is this Rp. 1 billion? If you put it under, you're afraid it will be eaten by cockroaches. If you put it in the savings, you're afraid of PPATK. This is the most feared," he said.
Finally, some corruptors find other ways to disguise the proceeds of crime. One of them is approaching young women, including students, who are then financed for their lives.
"Seeing her beautiful there. Start looking for the clear ones. Are you approached by a college student? Where are you studying, sister? Hey, man, say hello to that girl. I was called a man even though I was old, then she (the girl) said, man, you're still young," he said.
This practice then leads to money laundering (TPPU). Women who receive the flow of funds can be categorized as passive perpetrators because they receive and store money suspected of originating from crime.
"That was the first TPPU, one of the first TPPU carried out as a passive perpetrator, receiving, saving, saving against a corruption crime," he said.
"So we have to suspect that the money comes from crime. At least from crime, article 480 of the signature," continued Ibnu.
Ibnu also said that these corrupt perpetrators usually understand the way the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) works. So, they are usually more careful.
"Being careful doesn't mean, 'oh, I'll misuse this or that', no. We know better where our money goes," he concluded.
