Attorney General's Office Returns Rp19.6 Trillion to State Coffers

The paradigm of law enforcement is no longer solely oriented towards punishing perpetrators, but also towards restoring losses suffered by victims of crime.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Asset Recovery Agency (BPA) of the Attorney General’s Office has returned Rp19.6 trillion to the state treasury throughout 2025 through the tracing, seizure, and management of assets derived from criminal acts.

Head of the Asset Recovery Agency at the Attorney General’s Office, Kuntadi, stated during a ‘Best Results Programme’ press conference at the Government Communication Office in Jakarta on Wednesday that asset recovery has become a crucial part of law enforcement.

“The paradigm of law enforcement is no longer solely oriented towards punishing perpetrators of criminal acts, but also towards restoring the losses suffered by victims of crime,” Kuntadi said in a written statement from the Government Communication Office in Jakarta on Wednesday.

According to him, this approach is necessary to recover losses experienced by the state, society, and the environment due to criminal acts.

In 2024, the resolution of assets from general crimes, special crimes, and military crimes generated Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) of Rp1.4 trillion. This PNBP value increased to Rp19.6 trillion in 2025.

For 2026, the BPA is targeting PNBP of Rp3.2 trillion. As of June 2026, deposits into the state treasury have reached Rp1.7 trillion.

“These performance achievements in 2026 will be realised because the BPA has currently adopted several policies to accelerate the resolution of state-seized goods,” Kuntadi added.

The BPA has also formed a special task force to trace the assets of convicts, particularly from long-standing cases. Through this task force, the BPA is tracing assets belonging to convicted corruption fugitive Eddy Tansil.

Kuntadi stated that tracing and managing assets is necessary so that the proceeds of crime are not lost and can be returned for the public interest.

The BPA also encourages public participation through auctions organised by the Attorney General’s Office to maintain the economic value of seized goods and ensure the assets remain productive.
