JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD said the Asset Confiscation Bill (RUU) should be a priority for the DPR discussion. "The Presidential Letter (Surpres) which contains a request that the Asset Confiscation Bill be a priority for discussion has also been submitted to the DPR. Already entered the DPR on May 4, 2023. The letter will be responded to within a certain time, there are rules, we just wait for the process," said Mahfud MD while filling out the Public Lecture "The Role of the Asset Confiscation Law to Create a Corruption-Free Indonesia" at Pasundan University, Bandung, West Java, Thursday, June 22, was confiscated by Antara. The Asset Confiscation Bill is designed so that embezzlement of money or state wealth is no longer easy to do. After the bill is ratified into law, Mahfud believes that the perpetrators will find it difficult to transfer their criminal assets to other people.

According to him, with this regulation, every person suspected of committing a crime of money laundering, corruption, trafficking in persons, drugs, and terrorism, his assets could be confiscated immediately without having to wait for a court decision, as long as there is sufficient preliminary evidence. "The Asset Confiscation Bill can be used to deal with the issue of criminal acts that are constrained because the suspect/defendant has died, fled, permanent illness, or its whereabouts are unknown," he said. "It depends on when the DPR will. If we are ready, because it has been prepared for years," he said.
