engkalis Regent Herliyan Saleh denied having a large bank account as reported by a number of media outlets quoting the attorney general lately.
In a press conference on Monday, Herliyan said suspicious transactions found by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) could by chance be owned by other persons with the same name. 'I was surprised by the report saying that I owned a fat bank account. My wife and children have also asked about it, as have the public in Bengkalis,' said Herliyan.
He claimed to own a number of personal bank accounts at a number of banks, such as Bank Riau Kepri, which was made especially to keep his salary, and at the Bank Mandiri for credit card transactions.
'I also have accounts in other banks. I coincidentally opened a bank account at the bank when it launched a branch in Bengkalis.
'But the contents in the banks accounts are in small sums. I've checked them one by one,' he added.
He also asked his son and wife to check their accounts. 'There is no savings in large number, it is still a reasonable amount. That's why I was confused a transaction in which the account is suspicious,' he said. (***)
