JAKARTA - The Center for Financial Transactions Reporting and Analysis (PPATK) said parties who traded goods and services to perpetrators of illegal investment cases must be reporters.

This means that parties who trade in goods or services must report the form of transactions involving the perpetrators or suspects in cases of illegal investment.

"The parties who traded luxury goods are the reporting parties who have the obligation to report to PPATK," said PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavadana to reporters, Thursday, March 10.

This obligation must be carried out based on Law number 8 of 2010 concerning the Crime of Money Laundering (TPPU). Of course the goal is to trace and record the assets of the suspects.

However, until now there has been no report made by this party to PPATK.

"So far, PPATK has not found any reports from the providers of goods and services," said Ivan.

In the absence of the report, PPATK will investigate the alleged involvement of the goods provider in the money laundering offense. Exploration was also carried out with the Bareskrim Polri team.

"PPATK continues to coordinate with him (Kabareskrim) the possibility of involvement from the parties (providers of goods, ed) earlier in money laundering efforts carried out by the (suspect, ed) party, but we continue to explore," said Ivan.
