Europe Hands Over Data of Embezzled Funds

VIVAnews - A European country provided data concerning Robert Tantular's cash flow to Indonesian Center for Reports and Analyses of Financial Transaction (PPATK).

"We've acquired data from a European country," PPATK Head, Yunus Husein, told VIVAnews on Wednesday, Feb 11. "We are used to exchanging data with them," he added.

According to Husein, the data on Tantular's cash flow to Europe has been handed over to Crime and Investigation Division at the Indonesian Police HQs.

Is it Britain? Husein replied, "Well, it's around [Britain]. I cannot reveal the information."

Head of Indonesian Police HQs Crime and Investigation Division, Commissioner General Susno Duadji, acknowledged that he had been asked for assistance by PPATK to investigate the money that Tantular had embezzled.

The embezzled money is related to PT Bank Century and customer fund in PT Antaboga Delta Sekuritas. Tantular was the owner of Bank Century and share holder of Antaboga.

Earlier, Chief of Indonesian Police, Bambang Hendarso Danuri, stated that the Indonesian Police is teaming up with a European country to block customer fund of PT Antaboga Delta Sekuritas which was transferred to Europe.

Thousands of customers were scammed. Most of them were customers of Bank Century who were offered high interest so that they invested their funds to Antaboga.
