  "account": "In an illegal deforestation case in Riau, F, a member of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) in Kampar District, has been named as a suspect by Riau Regional Police. The case has transformed into a 60-hectare oil palm plantation. Police Director Ade Kuncoro stated that F has been questioned multiple times as both a witness and a suspect. The investigation began with suspected deforestation in the XIII Koto Kampar Subdistrict, Kampar District. The police suspected that F controlled the land and had transformed it into an oil palm plantation. Despite being named a suspect, F has not been detained yet. Further examinations and case file completion are ongoing. The case is an expansion of a deforestation case discovered by the Riau Regional Police in June 2025, which led to the arrest of four individuals suspected of managing oil palm plantations illegally.",
