TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has handed over 221,000 hectares of PT Duta Palma Group's palm oil land to PT Agrinas Palma Nusantara (Persero). The handover aims to optimize the land, which is considered evidence in a corruption case, for food security purposes.
Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Ardiansyah stated that there are 37 land and building plots totaling 221,868 hectares. The land and buildings are from 9 corporations involved in corrupt practices related to Duta Palma Group's palm oil management.
"The land is located in Riau and West Kalimantan provinces," said Febrie during a press conference for the handover of 221,000 hectares of Palm Oil Land for Energy Security at the Danareksa Building, Jakarta, on Monday, March 10, 2025.
Febrie explained that 7 land plots covering 43,824.52 hectares are in Riau, spread across Kuantan Singingi, Rokan Hulu, and Kampar districts. Additionally, 21 palm oil plantation land plots covering 137,626.01 hectares are scattered in West Kalimantan in the districts of Bengkayang and Sambas.
"This evidence is crucial. Due to limitations in managing this evidence, the Attorney General's Office requested the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises to take over its management," said Febrie.
Apart from maintaining its value, Febrie stated that managing this palm oil land evidence is expected to contribute to the community and enhance economic potential. "We hope its productivity will remain as it was at the beginning, without declining, and its economic benefits will continue, especially for the people," said Febrie.
Earlier, Attorney General ST Burhanuddin and Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises Minister Erick Thohir discussed the seized assets deposit at the Main Building of the Attorney General's Office on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. Burhanuddin revealed that the reason for the deposit of these assets in the form of land is to ensure that they maintain their quality and value.
The Attorney General also revealed that the deposit of PT Duta Palma Group's land assets was handed over to the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises because the case is still ongoing and has not resulted in a final verdict. Therefore, its management must be transferred to state-owned enterprises, an institution capable of managing state assets.
