Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD gave a surprising confession about suspicious transactions at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu). The amount is not kidding, it reaches Rp. 300 trillion. This was conveyed by Mahfud at Gadjah Mada University (UGM), Sleman, Yogyakarta, Wednesday, March 8. Mahfud explained, this odd transaction is different from the transaction of Rp500 billion from the account of the official Directorate General of Taxes Rafael Alun Trisambodo and his family of Rp500 billion. "I have received a report this morning, the latest is even a suspicious movement of Rp. 300 trillion within the Ministry of Finance, most of which are in the Directorate General of Taxes and Customs," explained Mahfud. The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) said it found the mutation value or the total transaction of 40 accounts belonging to Rafael Alun Trisambodo and his family amounted to Rp500 billion. Meanwhile, dozens of these accounts have now been blocked for further analysis. "It (Rp500 billion) was a account mutation in the account we frozen. Not the value of the funds," said PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana to reporters, Tuesday, March 7. The value of mutations that reached hundreds of billions did not occur in a short time. From the results of the interim analysis, this figure is the total transaction activity for four years. However, it is possible that the value of the mutation will continue to increase. Because the analysis process is still ongoing. "The value of the account mutation is in the 2019-2023 period. Not the value of the funds," he said Dozens of accounts are not only on behalf of individuals. Because, from there are also accounts acting on behalf of the company. However, it is still related to the family of Rafael Alun Trisambodo. "We've been blocking everything since last week," said Ivan. Previously, PPATK also blocked the account belonging to a tax consultant suspected of being a nominee or borrowed by the former Ministry of Finance's former DGT tax official (Kemenkeu). "Yes, there is a blocking of tax consultants," said Ivan. Ivan did not specify this tax consultant. However, this name loan is allegedly not only carried out by Rafael but also other parties. "Allegedly as the nominee of the RAT and several other related parties," he said.
