Authorities in Indonesia are investigating regional legislative members for involvement in illegal land use and environmental violations related to palm oil production. In West Kalimantan, police in Mempawah have transitioned an inquiry into a formal investigation regarding a member of the Mempawah Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). The official is accused of burning land to clear it for palm oil and corn planting, an incident captured in a viral video. Forensic teams have been deployed to the site to assist the investigation. In Riau, the Riau Regional Police have named a member of the Kampar Regency ~~DPRD~~ DPRD, identified by the initial F, as a suspect in a forest encroachment case. The individual is accused of illegally occupying and controlling approximately 60 hectares of forest land to establish a palm oil plantation. This follows a previous operation involving the arrest of four others linked to illegal plantations in protected forest areas.
