PPATK Encourages All Parties to Supervise 2024 General Election to Ensure Its Freedom from Money Laundering

The Deputy for Strategy and Cooperation at the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan - "PPATK"), Tuti Wahyuningsih, is predicting that the threat of fraudulent practices involving money laundering during this year’s General Election (Pemilihan Umum - "Pemilu") will involve the following practices: 1) Misuse of campaign funds; 2) Lack of transparency regarding campaign fund financing; 3) Political financing by entrepreneurs/special interest groups leading to bribery/gratuities. In this regard, the active role of the general public will be required, including proactive reporting to various law enforcement authorities under Pemilu.
Furthermore, Tuti has stated that PPATK has an agreement with the Supervisory Board of Pemilu (“Badan Pengawas Pemilihan Umum - "Bawaslu") regarding the securing of information on any flows of funds indicating that certain parties are engaging in money politics. In this regard, money laundering, which is always related to criminal activity, is now being carried out in ever more sophisticated ways.
The Coordinator of Legal Analysis Substance, Directorate of Law and Regulation of PPATK, Azamul Fadhly Noor, has confirmed the above statement by explaining that the right to privacy can be used to commit money laundering crimes (e.g. involving anonymous transactions or the use of stolen identities, digital financial services and/or cryptocurrencies).
Meanwhile, Hukumonline’s Vice-President General Counsel, Muhammad Rezafajri, added that financial technologies, including online marketplaces, are also being used for money laundering purposes (e.g. apparent sale-and-purchase transactions, which are usually referred to as fake orders) so that flows of laundered funds are more difficult to track. Hukumonline is committed to participating in the supervision of the 2024 Pemilu as a mass media outlet, as well as through the provision of legal technology to help with research into money laundering cases.
