JAKARTA - The Financial Analysis and Transaction Report Center (PPATK) was considered to have taken the wrong step when blocking the account of former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo. The institution is said to be an expert in money laundering (TPPU) Yenti Garnasih can only temporarily postpone transactions. "It's a temporary transaction delay, not a block. If it's blocked, it's not allowed," Yenti said when confirmed, Tuesday, March 28. In line with Yenti, legal observer Petrus Selestinus also considered the institution reckless when blocking accounts. "Because at this time the KPK is conducting an examination of the LHKPN Rafael Alun and will compare it with Rafael Alun's assets that were not reported in the LHKPN, whether including deposit boxes," he said. Moreover, those authorized to block accounts or safe deposit boxes are law enforcement officers, namely the KPK. This process can only be carried out after a criminal element is found in the ownership of Rafael Alun's assets. "If Rafael Alun is in a special examination through a reverse proof mechanism where Rafael Alun will explain his origin of his wealth, whether it is obtained legally or not, and if it is proven to have been obtained by the KKN, the KPK will input an investigation into the investigation stage and investigation of corruption," said Petrus. "And that's where Rafael Alun's deposit box was blocked and confiscated by the KPK, and it became the KPK's authority. So in the event that Rafael Alun's deposit box was blocked by PPATK, PPATK has taken over the KPK's authority against the law, because the power to block the account of authority and power lies with the KPK, not PPATK," he continued. Furthermore, Petrus said Rafael could sue PPATK because of the error of this rule. Moreover, there is the authority to be seized. "Rafael can sue PPATK to pretrial because the forced effort carried out by PPATK in the middle of the KPK is conducting an LHKPN examination, Rafael Alun. Why is the KPK's authority being seized by PPATK, it's strange," he said. As previously reported, Rafael Alun expressed his objection to the alleged Money Laundering (TPPU). He emphasized that he always reports his assets and sources clearly through the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) which was submitted to the KPK. It didn't stop there, Mario Dandy's father who abused David Ozora was also confused by the ongoing investigation. Rafael suspects the attempt occurred because of the connection with his son's abuse case. Moreover, his wealth increased because it was said that there was an increase in the selling value of the tax object (NJOP). "So now it is enlivened and said it is not natural just because of the case carried out by my son, it has become odd because it has been reported since 2011," said Rafael Alun as quoted by Antara. Not only that, Rafael also questioned the statement from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) regarding the blocking of tax consultant accounts because it was suspected that helping him do money laundering offenses was baseless. "I have never used the services of a tax consultant. If it is suspected that there was assistance from a tax consultant, please explain what kind of assistance it is," he said.
