TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Head of Indonesia's Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) Ivan Yustiavandana received an award from the United States Narcotics Agency. The award was given as an appreciation for the cooperation between the two countries in eradicating narcotics and money laundering (TPPU).
Ivan said that the award was a form of recognition from the United States government for collaborative efforts in investigating money laundering originating from narcotics transactions. "Narcotics are one of the predicate crimes with a high risk of money laundering," said Ivan as quoted from a written statement, Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
Ivan said that in the past two years, PPATK has contributed to identifying and analyzing money laundering from narcotics crimes amounting to US$ 6.97 or Rp104.5 trillion. The large amount emphasizes the important role of PPATK in investigating money laundering originating from narcotics.
To that end, PPATK is committed to increasing strategic collaboration with the United States in preventing and eradicating money laundering and narcotics trafficking. Because, he said, the involvement of external partners is a determining factor in the success of PPATK in investigating money laundering.
"The United States has been one of our partners since the establishment of PPATK more than two decades ago," he said.
Ivan added that this award is very important for Indonesia, especially PPATK. As a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), PPATK is committed to continuing to make efforts to prevent and eradicate money laundering crimes, including those originating from narcotics transactions.
