Sahroni is of the opinion that PPATK is misinterpreted, Prabowo's directions on blocking sleeping accounts

Jakarta – Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives Commission III Ahmad Sahroni did not reject the support of President Prabowo Subianto for the center for the reporting and analysis of financial transactions (PPATK) to block inactive or dormant accounts. However, he was sure that PPATK misinterpreted the support of President Prabowo. “I am sure that the vision and policy of the president must be pro -people and for the benefit of the nation. But sometimes the direction of the policy given is misinterpreted by his subordinates,” Sahroni said when he was contacted on Friday (1/8/2025). Browse to continue the content, he believes that what PPATK did was not what President Prabowo wanted. Because, he said, PPATK’s steps upset the people. “The direction is therefore the execution of Z. Because I am not sure the execution of this policy that the president wants, it is of course troublesome for the people, especially the little people,” he said. Therefore, in the future, he pushed PPATK more thoroughly to interpret the direction of President Prabowo. According to him, there should be a study for evaluation, especially related to blocking sleeping accounts. “So I think, in the future, the direction of the president’s policy must be carried out with a careful social study. The point is not to harm the community, stop first and evaluate it for the future steps,” he said. Previously reported, PPATK claimed that online gambling transactions (Judol) dropped dramatically after the step blockage of accounts was performed 3-12 months or sleeping accounts. PPATK said President Prabowo Subianto supported this step. “The president called for other things yesterday (to the palace). He supports, because it is to protect the rights and interests of the public, which are protected from attempts at irregularities by irresponsible parties,” PPATK head Ivan Yustivandana told reporters on Friday (1/8). Ivan emphasized that the state’s blocked account balance did not seize state. It is said to be a number of criminal acts such as Judol to money laundering (TPPU). “Either way, who said that the account was seized by the entire state? There was just something. Is it the heart to make the social consequences of Judol, sell suicide, sell themselves, sell children, divorce, destroy, bankrupt and others,” he said. (MAA/AUD)
