The Attorney General's Office (AGO) and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) will hold a joint training on the new Anti-Money Laundering Law for investigators.

"The plan is to hold the training next month," Attorney General Basrief Arief said after a meeting with the PPATK.

PPATK chief Yunus Husein said besides discussing plans for the joint training, prosecutors also discussed the possibility of creating a joint team to tackle important cases. 

"We have also requested that there be a [PPATK] liaison at the AGO," Yunus said, adding that the liaison’s presence would be important to strengthen cases.

The Anti-Money Laundering Law, passed by the House of Representatives in October, expands the PPATK’s authority so it can examine suspicious financial transactions and order financial service providers to halt those transactions.
