He admitted that he discussed many matters with President Prabowo Subianto but declined to reveal the details.
“Yes, we discussed many things, and he gave a lot of direction,” he added.
Earlier, it was reported that the PPATK had temporarily suspended 28,000 passive or dormant accounts throughout 2024.
Yustiavandana explained that the suspension of these inactive accounts was carried out in accordance with Law No. 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering.
The data, he said, was obtained from the banking sector.
“This step is part of the National Movement for the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing conducted by PPATK and other stakeholders,” he remarked.
He explained that "dormant" is a banking term used to describe accounts that have shown no activity—such as withdrawals, deposits, or transfers—for a certain period.
Furthermore, he said the temporary blocking is also part of PPATK’s effort to protect public interest and uphold the integrity of Indonesia’s financial system.
