The investigative team succeeded in confiscating evidence from motor vehicles which were strongly suspected to be related to or the proceeds of crime.

Not only Harvey's assets, the AGO also confiscated two cars belonging to another suspect, namely the Director of Utama PT SBS, Robert Indarto. The cars confiscated were a Mercedes-Benz E250 and a Toyota Innova Zenix.

"A series of raids and seizures are related to allegations of corruption in the trade of tin commodities in the IUP PT Timah Tbk region from 2015 to 2022," said Ketut.

Public appreciation

The public response to this case, if you look at it, is quite interesting. The Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) photographed that 40.1 percent of respondents were following the alleged corruption case at PT Timah which is being investigated by the Attorney General's Office.

"It turns out that this case is very popular. Perhaps because of two things. First, the financial loss to the state in this case is fantastic, amounting to IDR 271 trillion. Second, this case involves a celebrity," said LSI Executive Director Djayadi Hanan.

Furthermore, upon further investigation, among those following this case, the majority or 89.6 percent of respondents know that Harvey has been named a suspect. 72 percent of respondents know that the Attorney General's Office has searched and seized Harvey's assets.

The public also gave their opinions on what punishment is most appropriate for the suspects. The top three punishments considered appropriate by the suspects are confiscation of all their assets (39.9 percent), lifetime imprisonment (26.9 percent), and revocation of their business licenses (8.6 percent).

Regardless, the majority of respondents believe that Harvey was not involved alone, but that there were other powerful actors behind him who also played a role. The community hopes and believes that the Attorney General's Office can solve the issue.

"I believe that (the completion) of this is a challenge for the Attorney General's Office because the community is really following this case in detail. Meaning, the steps taken by the Attorney General's Office are being monitored by the public and for now, are supported by the public," said Djayadi.

With all its achievements and hopes, it is not surprising that the impact of the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) is reflected in the high level of public trust in Kejagung. At least 75 percent of respondents still believe and have strong faith in Kejagung. Kejagung is ranked in the top three after the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the President.

The challenge for the Attorney General's Office is that the community is really following this case in detail. This means that the actions of the Attorney General's Office are monitored by the public and for now, supported by the public.

Djayadi said that the level of public trust in the AGO is the highest compared to other law enforcement officials. One of the reasons is thought to be because the prosecutor's office has succeeded in showing the public that they have the courage to investigate high-profile cases such as the tin corruption case.

"(By) Because the case is high profile, then of course they received very wide public attention and that then made public confidence or trust in the Attorney General become higher compared to other (law enforcement officials)," said Djayadi.
