This is the face of progressive law. Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Legal Practitioners and Experts Association (Petisi Ahli) assesses that the success of the Satgas PKH task force and the Attorney General’s Office in saving state finances amounting to Rp11.4 trillion must become the new standard for law enforcement in the country. Petisi Ahli President Pitra Romadoni Nasution stated in an official release in Jakarta on Friday that the success of the Forest Area Regulation Task Force (Satgas PKH) of the Attorney General’s Office becomes the new standard for law enforcement because the apparatus not only focuses on prosecution but also contributes substantially to state financial recovery. “This is the face of progressive law. Law enforcement does not only punish, but also restores state losses concretely. This is what society expects,” he said. He conveyed that Petisi Ahli also encourages similar steps to be expanded to other sectors that have the potential to harm state finances, such as mining, plantations, and other natural resources. In addition, he emphasised the importance of synergy among law enforcement institutions so that efforts to save state finances can run more effectively and sustainably. “We are ready to stand at the forefront in fully supporting the Attorney General’s Office and all law enforcement apparatus in upholding the dignity of the law and saving state finances,” he stated. According to Pitra, the success in saving Rp11.4 trillion becomes an important milestone in asset recovery-based law enforcement efforts and serves as a strong message that the state is present and uncompromising towards legal violations that harm public interests. Petisi Ahli appreciates the success of Satgas PKH together with the Republic of Indonesia Attorney General’s Office in saving state finances amounting to Rp11.4 trillion. That achievement, he said, is concrete evidence of the seriousness of law enforcement apparatus in upholding the rule of law and protecting state assets from illegal practices that harm state finances. Symbol of courage. According to him, the firm steps taken by the Attorney General’s Office through Satgas PKH demonstrate that the state must not lose to legal violations, especially in the forestry sector which has long been one of the points prone to state financial leaks. “We give our highest appreciation to the Attorney General’s Office. The success in saving Rp11.4 trillion is not just a number, but a symbol of the state’s courage in enforcing the law and returning the people’s rights,” he emphasised. Pitra added that the forest area regulation carried out not only impacts state loss recovery but also becomes an important momentum in improving natural resource governance in Indonesia. The Satgas PKH task force handed over Rp11.42 trillion to the state treasury from the results of collecting administrative fines in the forestry sector amounting to Rp7.23 trillion, handling corruption cases by the Attorney General’s Office for the period January-March 2026 Rp1.96 trillion, proceeds from PBNP originating from environmental fines Rp1.14 trillion, tax revenue receipts Rp967.7 billion, and state revenue from tax deposits by PT Agrinas Palma Nusantara for January-February 2026 Rp108.5 billion.
