t was printed in the article of The Jakarta Post on Monday, April 12, 2010: Tax official a major broker since 2004. The first paragraph reads as follows: "The Financial Transaction and Reports Analysis Center (PPTAK) has found that former tax official Bahasyim Assifie has committed tax brokering practices over the years, and received payments, an official says".
With regard to the information above, we would like to advise you that the information is considered potentially misleading because it reads as if the statement was officially released by the PPATK. I would like to advise you that the head of the PPTAK, Yunus Husein, has never released the statement that an individual is or parties are suspected as "tax brokers".
The Information Analysis Report (LHA), which is disseminated by the PPATK to the National Police, only states, "an individual or any parties that are suspected of committing money laundering crime". The LHA submitted by the PPATK was only as an indication, which prompted the police investigation.
In order to avoid any incorrect information obtained by the readers, we would like to use the right to clarify/correct as stipulated in the Article 1 paragraph 12 of the Law 1999 Press Law and Article 9 and 10 of the Journalistic Ethical Code with regard to the right to answer.

Correction: On PPATK
In the Letter to the Editor column on Page 7 of our April 16, 2010 edition, the Financial Transaction and Reports Analysis Center was wrongly attributed as PPTAK. It was supposed to be written as PPATK. We deeply regret the error.
