DPR Commission III works late on asset forfeiture bill
New: DPR has received a presidential letter naming government representatives, while the working committee debated noncriminal forfeiture and an asset agency.
House of Representatives Commission III of the Indonesian parliament is speeding up deliberations on the bill on asset forfeiture so it can be passed soon, with a meeting that could run into the night at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta on Monday. Commission III chairman Habiburokhman said his panel is ready to work overtime after about one-third of the Problem Inventory List was discussed last week. At Monday's working committee meeting, the discussion covered forfeiture of assets without a criminal conviction, tracing, blocking and seizure, as well as the formation of a new body to manage assets from criminal acts. Commission III also received input from academics, advocacy organizations and students; PPKHI proposed four additional articles, including legal protection for third parties acting in good faith. At the plenary session, House Speaker Puan Maharani said House leaders had received surpres R-58 dated 27 October 2026 on the appointment of government representatives to discuss the bill.
