DPR RI targets December 2026 for Asset Forfeiture Bill passage
The Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) is working toward the passage of the Asset Forfeiture Bill, with a target completion date of December 15, 2026. The legislation aims to allow the state to seize assets derived from various criminal activities, including corruption, narcotics, terrorism, human trafficking, and environmental crimes.
Commission III leadership, including Habiburokhman and Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, emphasized that the bill is being refined to align with the newly enacted Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code. Officials noted that the draft currently circulating in the media is an early version subject to changes based on public participation and expert input.
While the bill has faced concerns regarding potential misuse for political purposes or the targeting of ordinary citizens, lawmakers maintained that the principle of equality before the law applies to all. To prevent abuse of power, Commission III is developing oversight mechanisms and strengthening institutional integrity to ensure the law is used strictly for its intended purpose of combating economic crime.
