AGO Urged to Complete Eddy Tansil Asset Tracing
The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) is being urged to continue tracing the assets of Eddy Tansil, a fugitive in the Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance (BLBI) corruption case. The call came after the AGO handed over non-tax state revenue (PNBP) worth Rp1.029 trillion to the Ministry of Finance, a portion of which, amounting to Rp51.6 billion, originated from the tracing of Eddy Tansil’s assets.
Advocate Tri Adhyaksa Viravibawa assessed that the AGO’s asset recovery efforts remain incomplete. He stated that there is still an obligation to return replacement funds estimated at around Rp500 billion. Tri said he carries a mandate from his late father, Rachmat Wangsasenjaya, who was one of 33 prosecutors involved in the seizure and forfeiture of Eddy Tansil’s assets in the 1990s.
According to Tri, the team of prosecutors at the time had conducted maximum tracing and seizure of assets, with the value of assets secured reportedly exceeding the state’s demands. “The team of prosecutors worked beyond the state’s demands. In fact, by my rough calculation, the value could be nearly Rp2 trillion at today’s prices,” Tri said on Sunday, 21 June 2026.
Tri explained that the seized assets were subsequently handed over to several state-owned banks at the request of the then Minister of Finance, Mar’ie Muhammad, with the approval of Attorney General Singgih. The banks that reportedly received the assets included Bapindo, Bank Dagang Negara (BDN), Bank Exim, and BNI. According to Tri, there was an agreement that if the assets were sold or transferred, any surplus proceeds after covering state losses were to be returned to the Attorney General’s Office for deposit into the state treasury.
However, to date, Tri claims he has not received any information regarding the proceeds from the sale of the assets or the amount of funds that have been returned to the state. “If there were surplus proceeds from the sale, that should have been reported to the Attorney General’s Office. Until now, there has been no clarity. That is what I mean when I say the work of those 33 prosecutors is not yet complete,” he said. Consequently, Tri is requesting that the AGO reopen a comprehensive tracing of Eddy Tansil’s assets, arguing that this step is crucial to ensure that all remaining state losses can be fully recovered.
