Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani stated that Indonesia had a role to play in eradicating transnational crimes in the financial sector.ccording to the minister, Indonesia's important role in eradicating the practice is inseparable from the fact that transnational crimes in the financial sector cannot be handled within the jurisdiction of one country and cannot rely on one institution alone. "Indonesia has clearly proven its participation in the efforts to eradicate criminal acts of money laundering and financing of terrorism on the global stage," the minister remarked at the G20 High-Level Tax Symposium on Combatting Tax Evasion, Corruption, and Money Laundering, as quoted from an official statement received here, Wednesday. Mulyani noted that her side, through the Directorate General of Taxes and other law enforcement officials, always work together to handle crimes in the financial sector. Since 2009, Indonesia has actively played an important role in international tax transparency through membership in the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, Mulyani remarked.
