        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 The Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the\nIndonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Ahmad Sahroni, has\nrequested that the Asset Forfeiture Bill (RUU Perampasan Aset) strictly\nregulate enforcement against third, fourth, and subsequent parties\nsuspected of being involved in the flow of corruption proceeds.<\/p>\n<p>Sahroni believes that parties who are consciously involved in the\nflow of criminal funds must also be subject to legal action. Therefore,\nthe NasDem politician proposed that the assets of parties indicated to\nbe involved could be seized first to prevent manipulation, while their\nfinal legal status would still be determined through the court\nprocess.<\/p>\n<p>This was stated by Sahroni during a meeting with several experts to\ndiscuss the Asset Forfeiture Bill at the parliamentary complex, Jakarta,\non Monday (5\/10\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe assets must be seized first. Only then will the court decide on\ntheir status,\u201d Sahroni emphasised. \u201cThis is important to avoid any\nattempts to manipulate the proceeds of crime and money laundering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Sahroni hopes that the Asset Forfeiture Bill can serve\nas a primary instrument for firm and impartial corruption eradication.\nAccording to him, law enforcement agencies need to act immediately if\nevidence points towards the involvement of third parties.<\/p>\n<p>This firm approach is intended to instil the understanding that\nassisting, receiving, or laundering criminal proceeds carries heavy\nlegal consequences. \u201cIn doing so, the recovery of state losses can be\ntruly maximised, while simultaneously providing a preventative aspect,\u201d\nsaid Sahroni.<\/p>\n<p>During the public hearing (RDPU) at Commission III, legal experts Dr\nM. Fatahilah Akbar from the Faculty of Law, UGM, and Dr Taufik Rahman\nfrom the Faculty of Law, Universitas Airlangga, were also present.<\/p>\n<p>Muhammad Fatahillah Akbar proposed the formation of an independent\nAsset Recovery Agency. He argued that such an independent body is\nnecessary to prevent potential conflicts of interest among law\nenforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that an independent body could manage criminal proceeds\nin an integrated manner. One of the primary reasons is that the\nmanagement of criminal assets possesses its own complexities, whereas\nthe KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission) and the Prosecutor\u2019s Office\nhave different functions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not actually ideal if we are always building new agencies. But\nif we must, to simplify and create better focus, it is indeed good to\nhave a dedicated, independent asset recovery agency,\u201d said\nFatahillah.<\/p>",
