PPATK REPORTED OVER ONE THOUSAND SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS TO LAW ENFORCERS
Jakarta, Dec 3 (ANTARA) - The Financial Transactions Reporting and Analysis Center (PPATK) has up to November 3 this year handed over 1,071 suspicious transaction reports to law enforcers, its chief said.
"We passed on to law enforcers more than 1,000 suspicious financial transaction cases," PPATK Head Yunus Husein said here on Thursday.
Based on data and preliminary criminal analyzes, most of the cases were believed to be corruption-related.
Of the 1,071 suspicious transactions, a total of 425 were suspected to be related to corruption, 344 to deception, 4 to banking crimes, 35 to narcotics trade, 31 to embezzlement, 30 to document forgery, 24 to bribery, 22 to terrorist funding and several other types of crime.
Yunus said that this year there the number of suspicious transactions had risen compared with that in 2008.
The research directorate of the PPATK had recorded 21,625 suspicious financial transactions in the January 1 - November 30, 2009 period.
If compared with the figure in 2008 (10,432 cases), the number of suspicious transactions during eleven months of 2009 had increased two-fold.
"This year, the number of suspicious transactions was recorded at an average of 1,968 per month," he said.
Data at the PPATK showed that 21,652 suspicious transactions were reported by 296 service suppliers (PJK) which consisted of banks and non-baning institutions.
In 2008, a total of 10,423 suspicious transactions were reported by 244 PJKs.
Yunus explained that suspicious transactions were transactions which deviated from existing regulations, or irregular transactions. This was not necessarily related to certain crimes.
The cumulative number of suspicious transactions between 2001 and 2009 was 44,708 . Most of the case were reported by banks with reports reaching 27,175 while non-bank PJK reported 17,533 cases.
Most of the non-bank institutions which reported suspicious transactions were foreign exchange traders with 13,906 cases, followed by insurance companies (2,030) and financing institutions, security firms, fund managers and remittance companies.***
