Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the State Palace on Tuesday installed the new chief of the Financial Transactions Analysis and Report Center (PPATK), Muhammad Yusuf, for the 2011 - 2016 period.

Yusuf at the function which was scheduled at 11 am was installed together with his deputy Agus Santoso. Yusuf, who was born in South Sumatra on May 18, 1962, replaced his predecessor Yunus Hussein.

Hussein resigned from his post because he joined the leadership selection of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

Yusuf who began his career at the prosecutor`s office corps was not a new figure at the PPATK. He was previously director of the public and regulation affairs at the PPATK.

He was once awarded the best prosecutor category in 2003 and was a member of the prosecutors` team that dealt with the case of former president Soeharto.(*)
