WASHINGTON DC-

Transparency International, the world body which seeks to stop corruption, encourage transparency, accountability and integrity in all walks of life, on Tuesday night (2/12) released its annual report 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index.

The annual report is an evaluation of corruption in the public sector is usually a kind of warning for countries included in the ranking of most corrupt countries in the world, related to their seriousness in fighting corruption.

Corruption Perception Index this year states Denmark, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland as the most free of corruption. America - along with Hong Kong, Ireland and Barbados - in order to 17. While Singapore is the only country in Asia that into 10 major categories of the most corruption-free country. Then what about Indonesia ?.

In the Corruption Perceptions Index 2014, Indonesia is on the order of 107. A little better than last year, in which Indonesia is on the order of 114.

Transparency International's Senior Director of Policy and Government Accountability Daniel Dudis praised Indonesia's efforts to combat corruption. He considered since the beginning of the new government under Joko Widodo has shown the seriousness of combating corruption involving the Corruption Eradication Commission Commission to evaluate candidates for cabinet ministers.

"I think the election of Joko Widodo is a positive step. When he became governor of Jakarta, he has made anti-corruption as a major issue, and of course we hope he will continue to do it now. Evidently when he will appoint his cabinet, he involves the Commission to ensure that people who are not involved in corruption cases designee. Some people rejected the Commission and Joko Widodo then elect new people. I guess Joko Widodo really shows its commitment to eradicate corruption, "said Daniel.

However, Daniel Dudis also hastened to add that in fact still a lot that can be done Indonesia to increase efforts to combat corruption. Although not named names or specific bodies, these bodies also initiated a new initiative "unmask the Corrupt" or "uncover Actors Corruption".

This new initiative to invite each country to take legal action against the criminals who come into a country, opened its stealth and then commit money laundering or other criminal acts of corruption. Legal steps that can be done, among others, refuse visas, refused opening bank accounts, and report to the local legal entities.

"Actors uncover corruption" is a new initiative that began last fall, referring to the international banking system and the recognition that corruption is a problem the world. We can not just criticize the country. We need a global criticized him. "Actors uncover corruption" Transparency International is an initiative to fight kleptocracy. Put simply we want to encourage the recording of wealth around the world. So we know who is behind a particular company, asset tracking and identifying assets stolen by government officials. Transparency International encourages a state to refuse a visa. We can see how the kleptocrats or theft of public money often traveled to Paris and to go shopping, or go to America and buy property. We want to say "hey you can not do that anymore. You can not come to our country and do that? ". In fact the US government has recently informed six Hungarian officials that they could not come to America for alleged corruption. We want to see more countries do things like this, "added Daniel.

Transparency International also pointed out the existence of a building in Delaware which is the address for 285 thousand companies stealth. Armed with these addresses, people who claim to be "business person" was then able to open a bank account, receive and spend money or buy property and other luxury items such as yachts and cars.

In the site "unmask the Corrupt" or "uncover Actors Corruption", the first figure is an example of "business person" as it is the son of former president Soeharto - Tommy Suharto. "Tommy" the call, allegedly involved in corruption cases worth 800 million dollars and can freely spend abroad.

Thanks to his friends in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands - two places where someone could open a company without giving the address or name the company owner - Tommy without any difficulty can be set up phantom companies. According to the website "unmask the Corrupt" managed by Transparency International that, until 1998 only Tommy had a four million dollars worth of hunting in New Zealand, holds a 75% stake in a manager of the famous golf courses in the UK and is listed as the owner of a factory stock car Lamborghini worth 40 million dollars.

According to Transparency International, Suharto could have been knocked out of power in May 1998, but only one month after his resignation that no bank account opened at a British bank in the island of Guernsey in the name of Tommy. The account remains open even though Tommy was convicted of corruption 11 million dollars a few years later, the decision was changed at the level of the appeals court. Only after Tommy was jailed for convicted of ordering the killings of justices Syafiuddin Kartasasmita in 200, a bank in the United Kingdom refused to disburse $ 40 million of accounts Tommy.

Tommy did deny having an account that has now been frozen it. He also denied having stealth company in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands, the ownership of shares in a hunt in New Zealand, stock golf courses in the UK or in the factory stock car Lamborghini. But suspicions remain and only a little money from the corruption that is actually returned to the Indonesian government.

In addition to calling Tommy Suharto, the site "unmask the Corrupt" or "uncover Actors Corruption" also mentions several other names, such as the former governor of Delta state in Nigeria - James Ibori, the former leader of Tunisia - Zine Al Abidin Ben Ali and his family, as well as the former mayor Sao Paolo - Paulo Maluf.
