Coordinating Minister Reveals Why KPK is Not Involved in Money Laundering Task Force Team in Jakarta

Jakarta –

Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud Md revealed the reasons why the KPK was not involved in the Money Laundering Task Force team (TPPU) to investigate odd transactions of IDR 349 ​​trillion. Mahfud, who is also the Chair of the Money Laundering Committee (TPPU), said that the KPK is handling a separate report.

“The KPK is not included in the Task Force because the KPK handles its own reports,” Mahfud told detikcomThursday (4/5/2023).

Mahfud said KPK chairman Firli Bahuri would process the money laundering reports that had been submitted to the KPK. Mahfud said that the KPK is included in the executive group in terms of governance, but not part of the executive branch.

“KPK chairman Pak Firli stated that he could not join the Task Force and would continue to process reports on alleged money laundering that had entered directly at the KPK,” he said.

“In terms of governance structure, the KPK is included in the executive branch but is not part of the government as an executive agency,” he added.

TPPU Task Force Team

The TPPU Task Force was formed on Wednesday (3/5) yesterday. The steering team consisted of three members, namely Mahfud as Chair of the TPPU Committee, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto, and Head of PPATK Ivan Yustiavandana.

The TPPU Task Force also presented experts, including former PPATK heads Yunus Husein and Muhammad Yusuf, to former KPK leader Laode Syarif.

“In carrying out their duties, the ML Task Force is supported by experts in the fields of ML, corruption, and the economy, customs and excise,” said Mahfud.

Apart from that, there were 12 experts who joined the TPPU team. Some of these names include Faisal Basri.

“So there are 12 experts who will participate in handling the alleged TPPU,” said Mahfud.
