DPR member proposes asset seizure review in bill

DPR Commission III member Nasyirul Falah Amru proposed that challenges to asset seizure or forfeiture before the main case is heard be regulated in the RUU Perampasan Aset, rather than using the pretrial scheme in KUHAP. He said the mechanism would be better established as a pra-judicial process specifically set out in the draft law. The proposal is intended to allow law enforcement actions to be tested on both formal and substantive grounds before the main trial, while also protecting citizens' property rights. Nasyirul also urged the rule to serve as a lex specialist to the new KUHAP. He said the filing requirements should be strict, deadlines for completion should be clear, and the design of the ruling should be defined from the outset, including whether the decision is final and binding or can still be challenged one last time at the Mahkamah Agung.
