The Chairman of DPR Commission III, Habiburokhman, has appreciated the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri) for uncovering cases of diversion of subsidised fuel (BBM) and LPG that harm the state. Habiburokhman praised the success of Polri in revealing 755 such diversion cases.

“We highly appreciate the National Police, particularly the Directorate of Specific Crimes at Bareskrim Polri, for successfully dismantling 755 crime scenes involving the diversion of subsidised BBM and LPG across Indonesia from 2025 to April 2026, with a total of 672 suspects arrested,” Habiburokhman told reporters on Wednesday (8/4/2026).

Habiburokhman assessed that the uncovering of these cases represents the National Police’s commitment to protecting society and safeguarding state finances. He described this as a major case.

“We emphasise that the National Police’s actions constitute a tangible form and commitment to protecting public rights and shielding state finances from illegal practices that harm the people,” he said.

“This is evidence of the police apparatus’s seriousness in enforcing the law and ensuring that subsidy programmes for the public are targeted appropriately,” he added.

It is known that Bareskrim Polri uncovered 755 crime scenes (TKP) of misuse of subsidised BBM and LPG from 2025 to April 2026. In total, 672 suspects were arrested by Bareskrim Polri.

These illegal practices potentially caused losses to the state of up to Rp 1.26 trillion. The losses from the misuse of subsidised BBM amounted to approximately Rp 516.8 billion, and from the misuse of subsidised LPG approximately Rp 749.2 billion.
