Social media was shocked by a letter from the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) who sent a letter to the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati. The letter contained a protest that it was suspected that the tax official had complained about indications of state losses of up to trillions of rupiah but were ignored.
The employee is Head of Administrative and Household Subdivision of the Regional Office of DJP North Sumatra II Bursok Anthony Marton. Bursok Anthony admitted that he had submitted a report regarding alleged criminal acts committed by a fraudulent company to the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) and the Ministry of Finance.
According to Bursok, the report on alleged tax violations was filed on May 27 2021. Based on Bursok Anthony Marlon's statement, the report number is ticket number TKT-21E711063 and registration numbers eml-2022-0020-9d33 and eml-2022-0023-24a6.
However, his complaint has not been investigated. He considered this condition to be very different when compared to how the Ministry of Finance responded to the viral case of Rafael Alun Trisambodo. He did not accept that the complaint was not followed up.
"It wasn't followed up at all. It was even closed by the minister by stating that my complaint had been delegated to the OJK with a letter that I suspected was fake because the OJK had never received the official letter in question and the minister couldn't show me the archive of the allegedly fake letter even though I have asked for it via email 3 times," Bursok told detikcom, written Thursday (2/3/2023).
Furthermore, until now he hopes that the report he is complaining about regarding the alleged criminal act committed by a fraudulent company will be carried out immediately.
"My hope is the same as the letter I wrote to the minister. Please follow up on my complaint and prove the letter that I suspect is fake," said Bursok.
Currently, he is still waiting for the Ministry of Finance led by Sri Mulyani to follow up on his complaint within 5 days. If not followed up, he said he would take the matter to the police.
"I will wait no later than five working days for you to complete it. If you exceed these five days, I will report it to the police," said Bursok.
Based on Bursok's written report for the DPR received by detik.com, it is known that the incident started when he and his wife tried to invest in Capital.com and the OctaFX application.
"The initial investment occurred on May 9, 2021 in the amount of USD 500.00 (five hundred United States dollars) which I transferred in rupiah to the virtual account of PT. Antares Payment Method (a subsidiary of Capital.com in Indonesia)," said Bursok
However, according to Bursok, the problem arose when he tried to withdraw US$ 100 from his account. It says that the withdrawal menu doesn't work at all.
Bursok also explained that he had made a complaint to Capital.com, but did not receive an answer. Seeing this condition, he immediately stopped all transactions to avoid the risk of further losses because the funds in question could not be withdrawn.
Furthermore, Bursok immediately checked the whereabouts of PT. Antares Payment Method. However, he found that the company in question did not have an NPWP.
