Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The number of dubious financial transactions in 2010 has soared to over 100 percent compared with the figure of the previous year, Financial Transactions Analysis and Report Center (PPATK) Chief Yunus Husein said.

"There is an upward trend in dubious financial transaction cases. In fact, this year the number has even increased over 100 percent if compared with the previous year," Husein said here on Thursday.

He made the remark after signing an agreement on countering money laundering and terrorism financing between PPATK and Bank Indonesia (BI).

In the meantime, the number of cases on analysis result reports (LHA) which had been transfered to the law enforcers stood at 1,160 of which 1,027 were handed over to police and 88 others to the prosecutor`s office.

The PPATK chief said that he could not mention the value of the transactions but one thing for sure was that it could be billions of rupiahs.

He said that the number of requests for information on financial transactions from law enforcers also increased, with 540 requests coming from police, 248 from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), 71 from the prosecutor`s office and 74 from others.
