00:04 In the middle of the low, the report of the campaign funds
00:07 indicates a violation that leads to the general election crime continues to intensify.
00:10 The latest, the Center for Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis or PPATK
00:14 found a flow of funds from abroad worth Rp 195 billion
00:19 to 21 political parties,
00:21 both in the management of the central level and the regions.
00:24 [music]
00:25 The White House's Office for Analysis and Investigation of PPATK and Minister Hartono said
00:29 the foreign money flow that entered the account of political party members
00:33 is different from the report of suspicious financial transactions
00:36 or LTKM, which was previously based on the list of candidates for the general election 2024.
00:42 This latest discovery began from the note of transactions from and abroad
00:46 which is usually done by PPATK.
00:48 Like what happened to the transaction in the account of legislative candidates,
00:52 the flow of funds from abroad to political party members
00:55 also shows anomalies.
00:57 [music]
00:58 At the same time, a PPATK official revealed
01:01 hundreds of billions of foreign money flowing into the accounts of political party members
01:05 comes from many sources.
01:07 Most of the transactions are about 70% sent on the name of the individual,
01:11 while the remaining 30% is sent by the entity of the business body.
01:15 Interestingly, according to him, the corporation that sends most of the funds is a fraud company.
01:20 This suspicion arose because the companies are listed in a number of countries in the world.
01:25 [music]
01:27 Dananggan released his team's findings when asked about the information.
01:31 According to him, PPATK is still learning the sources and importance of foreign money flows
01:37 to the parties.
01:39 Dananggan made sure PPATK had reported a suspicious transaction
01:42 from abroad to the political party manager,
01:45 to Bawaslu.
01:47 [music]
01:48 The expert on the election from the University of Indonesia, Titi Anggra, said
01:52 Article 40, verse 3, letter A of Law No. 2, 2008
01:56 on the political party has prohibited the political party
01:58 from accepting or donating in any form from and to foreign parties.
02:03 Titi explained that the foreign parties in the article include citizens of foreign countries,
02:08 foreign governments or organizations of foreign communities.
02:11 [music]
02:12 Titi continued, Article 48, verse 4 has set a penalty for violation of Article 40, verse 3, letter A,
02:18 where the political party manager who commits a violation is sentenced to the longest prison sentence, two years,
02:23 then is sentenced to double the amount of foreign money received.
02:27 [music]
02:28 Executive Director of PR Ludeng, Perunusa Nur Agustyati, suspected
02:32 that the money flow from abroad to the political party or the voter's party
02:36 had been going on before the KPU started the campaign,
02:39 so that the transaction did not go to the special campaign fund or RKDK
02:43 that must be reported by the political party to the KPU.
02:46 It can be argued that the money raised by the campaign was not recorded
02:50 and accumulated in the initial report of the campaign fund or LADK.
