These 13 Criminal Offences are Included in the Asset Forfeiture Bill: Here is the Complete List
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) has stated that there are 13 types of criminal offences that may be subject to asset forfeiture under the Draft Law (RUU) on Asset Forfeiture Related to Criminal Offences. These offences range from corruption and money laundering to human trafficking.
The Chairman of Commission III, Habiburokhman, stated that the list was compiled after reviewing various inputs from experts and comparing them with asset forfeiture provisions applicable in several other countries.
“Regarding the question of the scope of criminal offences in this Bill, Commission III of the DPR RI has conducted research and in-depth study on the types of offences regulated in this Bill,” said Habiburokhman, as quoted from Detikcom on Sunday (30/8/2026).
According to him, some experts believe there should be limitations on the types of offences that can fall within the scope of asset forfeiture without a criminal conviction. In addition to absorbing expert input, Commission III of the DPR RI also compared these provisions with asset forfeiture regulations in various countries.
“Legal experts have expressed that the regulated offences should ideally be those with economic motives, those that harm the state and the wider community, or those with a high level of seriousness that impact the public economically,” he said.
Commission III of the DPR RI also conducted comparisons with provisions in several countries. In New Zealand, for example, asset forfeiture without a criminal conviction can be applied to significant offences punishable by more than five years in prison and involving values exceeding NZ$30,000.
Several countries, such as Singapore, Paraguay, Uruguay, the Philippines, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, also have provisions regarding asset forfeiture applied to specific offences or serious crimes.
Habiburokhman emphasised that his party is committed to ensuring that the Asset Forfeiture Bill related to Criminal Offences can operate effectively, proportionally, justly, and beneficially. He stated that input from the public and experts would be taken into consideration during the drafting of the Bill.
“Taking these inputs into account, in drafting the Asset Forfeiture Bill related to Criminal Offences, Commission III of the DPR RI has now included a list of criminal offences that may be subject to asset forfeiture under this law,” he said.
“Input from the community, including members of the public and experts, serves as the foundation for Commission III of the DPR RI to create a participatory, comprehensive draft law that aligns with the interests of the nation and the state,” he added.
