For PPATs who commit this abuse of power, the consequences of these actions are that the PPAT must be able to take responsibility and be subject to appropriate criminal sanctions by the panel of judges, namely Article 372 and/or 374 of the Criminal Code and/or Articles 4, 5, 6 of the Republic of Indonesia Act No.8 of 2010 concerning the Crime of Money Laundering and Article 55 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.Keywords: Accountability; Authority; Tax]]>
