KPK RECEIVES PPATK REPORT ON SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS

Jakarta, April 12 (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has received a report from the Financial Transactions Analysis and Reporting Center (PPATK) regarding suspicious transactions involving some high ranking state officials.

"It is true. We have received such a report," KPK spokesman Johan Budi said in reply to newsmen here on Monday.

Johan said the report was received from PPATK chief Yunus Husein and it was about suspicious transactions involving parliament members, a cabinet minister and director general-level officials.

Yunus had presented the report to the law enforcement agencies including KPK.

Johan admitted he had received the report some time ago. He however declined to indicate when exactly the KPK had received the report. Neither was he prepared to elaborate on its contents.

Johan said the PPATK report was not the first of its kind the KPK had received. KPK and PPATK, he said, often cooperated with each other, including exchanging data on cases being investigated.

He said KPK was planning to conduct further investigations based on the PPATK report. "We are going to analyze it," he said without elaboration.

Johan said KPK would only move if there were indications acts of corruption had been committed in a case.
