Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Taxation director general Fuad Rahmany said he still had to wait for a report from the Attorney General`s Office before he could act against staff member DW in connection to his suspicious accounts.

"Let us wait for the results of the examination from the AGO, which I am also expecting. We must not speculate," he said at a meeting with media executives here on Thursday.

Fuad said DW has many accounts, though there has been no confirmation regarding their origin.

"It all happened following a report from the Financial Transactions Analysis and Reporting Center (PPATK) about suspicious transactions. But they still have to be proven with regard to where the money for them came from or whether the money came from bribes. We still do not know," he said.

He said the Directorate General of Tax continues to improve internal order and has so far given various disciplinary sanctions to its employees.

Fuad said in 2011 the office issued disciplinary sanctions to 263 employees, while through February this year 39 employees have been given sanctions.

"This is part of the reform efforts made against employees that have made mistakes," he said.

He said the bureaucratic reform system has provided tight supervision of employees so that those who cause a loss to state finance could be given equal sanctions.

"We have 32,000 employees. So, it is normal to find some who are not disciplined. What is important is building a system that makes it possible for swift action to be taken against those violating the rules," he said.

He added that he had not received a report from the PPATK regarding DW`s accounts in early 2011, as at the time he was not a director general.

"I did not see it when I was there. I am a director general," he said.

He said the finance minister had asked him to tighten supervision, as many employees may possibly have suspicious accounts.

"The finance minister has reminded us to tighten supervision and this is part of the control," he said.

The public still remembers the case of Gayus Tambunan, a convicted tax staff member who shocked them with his huge accounts, have once again been alarmed by DW`s case. DW, who is just a common staff member, also has accounts worth billions of rupiahs.
