PPATK Freezes IDR588 Billion Transactions from 345 Accounts in Illegal Investment Cases

PPATK has also deposited the names that need to be checked by the police from the flow of funds.


Head of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) Ivan Yustiavandana said PPATK had frozen illegal investment transactions worth IDR 588 billion from 345 accounts belonging to 78 people until Tuesday, April 5, 2022.

This amount increased from Friday's record, March 25, 2022, which was Rp502.88 billion from 275 accounts.

PPATK has received 560 reports regarding asset purchase transactions, suspicious financial transactions, cash transactions, remittances abroad and into the country, with a total value of 35.76 trillion.

"So if you ask about the massive number, yes, this activity is incredibly massive," he said at Commission III of the DPR, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 5, 2022.

Ivan confirmed that PPATK had provided the results of its analysis and examination to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

PPATK has also submitted names that need to be checked by the police from the flow of funds, as well as supporting data.

Ivan stressed that the illegal investment cases currently being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Agency, such as Binomo, Quotex, Fahrenheit, and others are not the only cases that PPATK has found in this illegal investment case. According to him, there will be more that has not been revealed because it is like the tip of the iceberg.

"Currently, there are 8 parties that PPATK has handled, not only Fahrenheit, as previously stated, but several other parties that PPATK has observed are identical with the process of illegal investment mode," said Ivan.

INTRAC is currently trying to initiate a national coordinating committee meeting to prevent this case from happening again.
