Jakarta, MINA – The Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) has reaffirmed its commitment to finalize the Asset Forfeiture Bill (RUU Perampasan Aset) no later than December 15, 2026. The announcement came amid growing public attention to aspirations voiced by protesters in Jakarta on Thursday.
During the protests, the 3rd Plenary Session of the DPR for the 2026–2027 Session Period confirmed that the Asset Forfeiture Bill would be completed by the December deadline.
Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, conveyed this commitment after Commission III Chair Habiburokhman reported on the bill’s progress and received approval from fellow council members.
Habiburokhman explained that the Asset Forfeiture Bill is being deliberated following the completion of the national Criminal Code (KUHP) and Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP).

In the latest draft, assets subject to forfeiture include proceeds of crime, assets used as instruments of criminal activity, found property, and replacement assets for damages. The forfeiture mechanism also covers rulings against perpetrators as well as criminal objects.
This commitment was previously echoed by DPR leadership. Deputy Speaker Saan Mustopa stated in July that the DPR does not oppose the discussion of the Asset Forfeiture Bill, calling it a crucial instrument in the fight against corruption.
Commission III continues to conduct in-depth discussions through public hearings involving academics and anti-corruption activists.
With the December ratification target now set, the DPR is expected to ensure open deliberations and produce strong regulations for recovering assets derived from criminal acts.

Meanwhile, Metro Jakarta Central Police Chief Kombes Pol Reynold EP Hutagalung said security measures began at 07:00 WIB and were divided into several zones around the DPR/MPR RI building.
Personnel were also deployed at the Hotel Indonesia (HI) Roundabout and Dukuh Atas areas to anticipate mass movements and their impact on traffic flow. Police emphasized a humanist and persuasive approach.
Police confirmed that officers on duty were not carrying firearms or sharp weapons. In addition to maintaining security, traffic personnel were prepared to implement situational traffic engineering if congestion occurred or crowds closed road sections.
Police also provided space for the public to express their aspirations in accordance with legal provisions and urged protest participants to avoid anarchic acts and damaging public facilities.[]
