Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has ordered an intensified crackdown on illegal mining and smuggling, particularly in tin-rich regions, aiming to curb substantial state losses. This directive follows significant seizures and ongoing efforts to dismantle illegal operations.

• Estimated state loss from a recent corruption case involving tin smelters: 300 trillion Indonesian rupiahs (about 18 billion U.S. dollars).
• Key organizations involved in the crackdown: Attorney General’s Office, Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), Customs and Excise Office, and Maritime Security Agency.
• President Prabowo estimates that ongoing enforcement could save the state up to 22 trillion rupiahs (around 1.32 billion dollars) by the end of this year.
