Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Member of Commission III of the DPR from the PDI Perjuangan faction, Johan Budi, assessed that the arrival of Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD at a joint meeting with Commission III of the DPR had not made it clear about the alleged Rp349 trillion suspicious transaction.

“Is it clear that the IDR 349 ​​trillion? It’s not clear, sir. Nothing is clear what you said, the aggregates just now aren’t clear yet. What happened to IDR 349 ​​trillion? We don’t know yet,” said Johan in a hearing with Mahfud and Commission III at the MPR/DPR Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday (29/3).

Johan explained that the original purpose of Commission III summoning Mahfud was to clarify this polemic. Moreover, he said that there had been uproar in the community about this suspicious fund transaction of fantastic value that needed to be straightened out. Johan hopes that there will be more follow-up to resolve this polemic.

“This needs follow-up, it really needs to be clear. For me, I fully support what Pak Mahfud is doing,” he said.

Mahfud came to fulfill the invitation of Commission III of the DPR to explain the polemic over suspicious transactions of IDR 349 ​​trillion at the Ministry of Finance.

Mahfud emphasized that the aggregate data on alleged money laundering crimes (TPPU) related to the Ministry of Finance for the 2009-2023 period was divided into three groups of analysis results reports (LHA). The LHA was reported in a letter from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) with a total transaction value of IDR 349 ​​trillion.

First, the LHA group is related to suspicious financial transactions for employees of the Ministry of Finance amounting to IDR 35 trillion. There were 153 LHA submitted to the Ministry of Finance with the alleged involvement of 461 ministry officials.

Second, the LHA group is related to suspicious financial transactions that allegedly involve employees of the Ministry of Finance and other parties amounting to IDR 53 trillion. In detail, there were 15 LHAs to the Ministry of Finance with allegations that 30 civil servants under Sri Mulyani’s were involved.

Third, the LHA in the group of suspicious financial transactions is related to the authority of the Ministry of Finance as a predicate crime investigator (TPA) and ML for which data on the involvement of Ministry of Finance employees has not yet been obtained. Mahfud mentioned the figure of IDR 260 trillion with 32 LHA which was submitted to the Ministry of Finance.

“When asked by the Minister, the Minister was surprised because the report was not included. Because the person who received the by hand, the person there said to Mrs. Sri Mulyani, ‘Ma’am, there is no such letter’. Loh PPATK said this is the letter. Just explained but different,” said Mahfud.
