Money laundering (TPPU) is one type of criminal offense in the marine and fisheries sector (TPKP) that can harm the state economy, encourage corrupt practices, and threaten marine biodiversity.

This activity was held on the campus of the Attorney General's Training Agency of the Republic of Indonesia on September 25-29, 2023. The training was attended by 25 participants from the PPNS KP Directorate of Violation Handling, Directorate General of PSDKP, and the Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis Center (PPATK).
The materials presented were: 1) 'Handling of TPKP Investigation' with a resource person from the Director of Violation Handling, 2) 'Sources of Information and Methods of Financial Data Analysis' with a resource person from PPATK, 3) 'Utilization of PPATK Financial Intelligence Reports' with a resource person from PPATK, 4) 'The Role of Financial Investigations in ML/TF Evidence' with a resource person from PPATK, 5) 'Application of Financial Investigation in the Disclosure of ML Cases' with resource persons from Riau Police and Customs, 6) 'Investigation Techniques of ML Crime in TPKP' with resource persons from the Directorate of Economic and Special Crimes of the National Police Headquarters, 7) 'Prosecution Techniques of ML Crime in TPKP' with resource persons from the Jampidum of the Indonesian Attorney General's Office, and 8) 'Asset Recovery' with resource persons from the Asset Recovery Center of the Indonesian Attorney General's Office.
