Yogyakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD said that most of the suspicious transactions worth IDR 300 trillion were at the Directorate General Tax and Customs Ministry of Finance (MoF).
“I have received a report this morning, the latest is that there have been suspicious movements of IDR 300 trillion within the Ministry of Finance, most of which are at the Directorate General of Taxes and Customs,” said Mahfud at Gadjah Mada University (UGM), Sleman, Yogyakarta, Wednesday (8/3).
Mahfud said that this strange transaction was different from transactions from the accounts of Director General of Taxes, Rafael Alun Trisambodo and his family, amounting to IDR 500 billion.
“I have also submitted other reports apart from the IDR 500 billion (PPATK findings),” he said.
Mahfud admitted that he had submitted the information to Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani and Head of PPATK Ivan Yustiavandana.
“Yesterday there were 69 people (employees of the Ministry of Finance with unreasonable wealth) with a value of only not up to trillions. Only hundreds, hundreds of billions. Now today around 300 T have been found, they must be traced,” he said.
There has been no response or official statement from the Ministry of Finance regarding Mahfud’s statement. CNNIndonesia.com still trying to contact the Ministry of Finance for information.
Previously, the Ministry of Finance discovered unknown assets belonging to 69 employees. The Inspector General of the Ministry of Finance, Awan Nurmawan Nuh, said that he had examined the anomaly in the wealth of internal employees.
On the other hand, the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) noted that the transfer of accounts belonging to the Director General of Taxes, Rafael Alun Trisambodo, exceeded IDR 500 billion during the 2019-2023 period.
The wealth of officials at the Directorate General of Taxes and Customs is under public scrutiny. Rafael Alun and former Yogyakarta Customs Head Eko Darmanto have been asked for clarification by the KPK.
