JAKARTA - Attorney General ST Burhanuddin stated that he was aware of the network behind illegal imports. The Prosecutor's Office has even cracked down on some of them.

The statement was made after discussing the establishment of an Illegal Import Task Force with the Minister of Trade (Mendag) Zulkifli Hasan at the Attorney General's Office (AGO), Tuesday, July 16.

"We are actually waiting, with some of our cases taking action, starting from textiles, maybe even more than seven," said Burhanuddin.

He said that the establishment of an Illegal Import Task Force involving several institutional institutions is expected not only to authorized but to eradicate the perpetrators.

Moreover, the AGO already knows the networks behind it.

"I hope this is not only a breakthrough but to completion because we have a network, we know the networks and God willing, I will support what the Trade Minister has to say, and we are ready for that action," said Burhanuddin.

The Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) targets the establishment of a Task Force to eradicate illegal imported goods to be completed in the near future.

Later, this task force has the authority or authority to conduct inspections of a store or market in order to carry out checks that are suspected of smuggling illegal imported goods.

Meanwhile, seven illegal imported commodities are rife in Indonesia, namely textiles and textile products (TPT), finished clothes, ceramics, electronics, cosmetics, finished textiles, and footwear.
