PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) of Indonesia officially handed over IDR 13.25 trillion in recovered state losses from a corruption case involving export permits for Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and its derivatives.

In his remarks, President Prabowo expressed deep appreciation for the AGO’s dedication and firm stance in fighting corruption that harms the nation’s economy.
“This amount—thirteen trillion rupiah—can be used to renovate over 8,000 schools. We can also build and modernize around 600 fishing villages. These funds will directly benefit our people,” President Prabowo said in an official statement quoted by Palmoilmagazine.com on Monday (October 27, 2025).

“This achievement reflects our commitment to uphold Indonesia’s economic sovereignty. Every action we take is aimed at one goal: the prosperity of the people,” Burhanuddin affirmed.
The ceremony was attended by key state officials, including Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto, State Secretary Minister Hadi Prasetyo, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, and BPKP Head Muhammad Yusuf Ateh, along with senior AGO and TNI officials.
