The Financial Transactions Report and Analysis (PPATK) said Wednesday the Rp 24.6 billion (US$2.7 million) in the bank account of Gayus Tambunan, a tax official allegedly involved in a tax evasion case, should have been investigated by police.
"We question why such a suspiciously large amount of money is not included in the dossier?," PPATK head Yunus Husein, who is also a member of the anti-judicial corruption team, said as quoted by kompas.com.
Earlier, police and prosecutors said Rp 24.6 billion of the total of Rp 25 billion fund in Gayus’ account could not be used as evidence against Gayus. They argued the money belonged to Andi Kosasih, who had borrowed Gayus’ account.
Police have said the PPATK was unable to prove that the fund was the result of criminal activities.
The case emerged after former National Police detective chief Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji claimed several generals in the National Police backed up Gayus in the tax evasion investigation.
Susno went further to say some high-ranking police officers had received kickbacks for helping Gayus.
