- The Deputy Head of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (Pusat Pelaporan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan – “PPATK”), Dian Ediana Rae, issued a statement recently asserting that the absence of any universal standardization was resulting in a lack of reporting by Indonesian advocates in relation to money laundering cases. An entrenched conflict-of-interest between the responsibility of advocates to maintain client secrecy and the obligation to report any suspicious transactions is believed to be the primary reason for this state of affairs.
- In order to find a solution to this problem, advocates are now required to register with the PPATK, specifically in relation to any banking and capital-market transactions. Suspicious transactions can relate to: 1) Property sales and purchases; 2) Management of money, securities and other financial-service products; 3) Management of current accounts, savings, time deposits and/or securities accounts; 4) Operations and management of the company; and/or 5) Establishment, purchase and sale of legal entities.
- PPATK Head, Kiagus Ahmad Badaruddin, is urging all parties to report any suspicious transactions in order to anticipate money laundering crimes. Such reporting should, in turn, contribute to an increase in investment and ultimately lower the cost of borrowing.
