Yeremia Sukoyo, Jakarta – The Attorney General's Office is ready to confiscate the assets of graft and money laundering convict Labora Sitorus, a law-ranking but surprisingly well-off police-officer-cum-businessman from West Papua.

Attorney General M. Prasetyo said the Supreme Court has already issued a final and binding ruling on the matter, so authorities could proceed.

Even if Labora were to lodge a judicial review to challenge the ruling, "it would not get in the way of the impending confiscation [of the assets]," Prasetyo said on Thursday.

Labora made national headlines in 2013 when it turned out he had some Rp 1.5 trillion ($105 million) in his bank accounts. He had been laundering money gained through fuel hoarding and illegal logging with his timber company Rotua.

The notorious officer has since been sentenced to 15 years in prison for graft and money laundering.
