Polis Indonesia sah 98 kes kebakaran hutan libat pihak asing
Ketua Polis Negara Jeneral Suyudi Ario Seto berkata Badan Penyiasatan Jenayah sedang berusaha mengenal pasti bentuk penglibatan itu serta pihak yang bertanggungjawab.
Indonesia has confirmed the involvement of foreign parties in 98 corporate cases related to forest and land fires, according to National Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto. The Criminal Investigations Division (Bareskrim) is working to determine the extent of this involvement and identify responsible parties. Seto stated this during a media briefing after a Cabinet meeting with President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta.
The investigation is ongoing, and they are still determining which cases involve foreign investment or foreign parties versus those that do not. Police are collecting evidence and expect to name suspects, including company owners and shareholders, in the near future. Meanwhile, Policy and Security Coordination Minister Dudung Abdurachman urged for the fire containment operation to be elevated immediately, without waiting for rain, emphasizing the need for urgent and continuous action.
He added that the President has ordered a large-scale mobilization of troops and police, including the Indonesian military, the police, the Forestry Department, and the public. Indonesia has responded to foreign aid offers, including from Malaysia and Singapore, with the National Disaster Management Agency coordinating technical arrangements for the relevant assistance.
However, the minister noted in a previous media briefing that foreign aid should wait until the government declares the fires a national disaster, a step that has not been taken as Indonesia continues to manage the crisis using its own resources.
