Attorney General Showcases Achievements of Forest Area Control Task Force Since Inception: Successfully Saved Rp 371.1 Trillion
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin revealed that the Forest Area Control Task Force (Satgas PKH) has saved state funds amounting to Rp 371.1 trillion since its initial establishment.
This was stated during the handover event of administrative fines, state financial recoveries, and the repossession of forest areas in phase VI to the state, on Friday (10/4/2026).
“We need to convey that Satgas PKH, since its formation in February 2025 until now, has successfully carried out the recovery of state asset finances reaching Rp 371,100,411,043,235,” said Burhanuddin at the Attorney General’s Office on Friday.
“Conversely, strong, intelligent, and targeted law enforcement will improve governance, restore state losses, foster a healthy business climate, and provide tangible impacts on the national economy,” added the Attorney General.
He also emphasised the importance of firm law enforcement to maintain national stability.
According to him, the state must not lose to mafia practices that exploit Indonesia’s forest wealth.
“We ensure that forests, as a gift from Almighty God, are a blessing owned by the Indonesian nation and must be managed and preserved for the people’s interests, not just for the benefit of certain groups,” he stated.
The handover of the funds was witnessed directly by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and members of the Merah Putih Cabinet.
“The total amount of funds handed over is Rp 11,420,104,815,858, which will enter the state treasury,” said Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin on Friday.
This amount consists of administrative fines in the forestry sector totalling Rp 7,230,036,440,742, Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) from handling corruption crimes by the Republic of Indonesia Prosecutor’s Office amounting to Rp 1,967,867,845,912, tax deposits for the period January–April 2026 of Rp 967,779,018,290, tax deposits from PT Agrinas Palma Nusantara as of 28 February 2026 of Rp 108,574,203,443, and PNBP from environmental fines of Rp 1,145,847,307,471.
