PPATK Records 527,000 Suspicious Transactions Since 2023, Linked to Corruption and Narcotics

The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) has recorded more than 500,000 Suspicious Financial Transaction Reports (LTKM). This total covers the period from 2023 to June 2026. “So these are the reports during 2023, we have received 527,000 reports. At present, if I am not mistaken, we receive thousands of reports per minute,” said PPATK Director of Analysis and Examination Beren Rukur Ginting during a Gratification Control Socialisation event at the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections office in South Jakarta on Tuesday (21/7/2026). Beren stated that many of these reports are related to criminal acts of corruption and embezzlement. PPATK receives reports from banks, financial service providers, financing service providers including venture capital, as well as goods and services. “What suspected criminal acts are these related to? The suspected criminal acts fall under article 2, point 1. Corruption, banking, fraud, embezzlement, narcotics, and the like,” he said. Beren explained that PPATK adheres to Article 1 paragraph 5 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering (TPPU). According to him, this is used to identify deviations in transaction profiles. “So what is the profile? We already have an idea that a profile like mine will have transactions like this. Meanwhile, a profile like yours, ladies and gentlemen, will roughly have transactions like that. So every profile has a normal transaction pattern,” he stated. Furthermore, he mentioned that reporting parties are obliged to identify indications of predicate crimes. This is based on the suspicious transactions outlined in Article 2 paragraph (1) of the TPPU Law.
