The Indonesian Financial Transactions Reporting and Analysis Center (PPATK) needs a strong legal basis before it could provide information needed in the framework of the implementation of a House inquiry committee, its chief said.
"We need a strong and clear legal basis in providing such information," PPATK Chief Yunus Husein said here on Tuesday.
He said in providing information needed for the implementation of a House inquiry into the Bank Cenutry bailout, he had never received any pressure from any body or any party.
Husein said PPATK fully supported the auditing of Bank Century case by the State Audit Board (BPK) so that from the beginning it provided information needed by the BPK in its audit.
Therefore, he said, PPATK also supported the inquiry by the House of Representatives (DPR) based on the regulations in force.
In response to a report circulating among the public that the bailout funds for Bank Century had flown to certain individuals and institutions, he clarified that PPATK had no such information and had never provided information about funds flows to any one.
Husein said that the people should understand that information owned by PPTAK was confidential in nature based on articles 10A and 17A of Law No. 25 / 2003 on Money Laundering.
