Indonesia's Asset Seizure Bill Draft Advances as Experts Warn Against Hoaxes
The draft of the Asset Seizure Bill (RUU Perampasan Aset) is being prepared and harmonised by Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives and remains in the drafting stage.
During the parliamentary recess the commission continues outreach, gathering public aspirations in various regions with participation from law‑enforcement agencies and other stakeholders.
Legal and development expert Hardjuno Wiwoho urges the public to verify information, noting false reports that the DPR rejected the bill, and stresses that the process must be transparent, accountable and aligned with existing laws such as the Criminal Code (KUHP), Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), due‑process principles, human‑rights protections and third‑party rights.
Commission III Chair Habiburokhman says the drafting is open and participatory, aiming to create an effective instrument for recovering assets from corruption and economic crimes while safeguarding legal rights.
