Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund, Danantara, is offering unprecedented legal protections for investors, including immunity from criminal, civil or tax probes. The provision, buried in a 207-page financial-sector law, shields purchases of bonds from the fund and says bond records can’t be used for tax assessments or evidence in court proceedings. Analysts warn that the move could attract money with questionable origins and erode Indonesia's reputation, potentially undoing its progress in combating illicit funds and risking its return to the Financial Action Task Force's gray list.
