Madina Public Prosecutor’s Office Arrests Fugitive Convicted in Illegal Mining Case
The fugitive apprehension team (Tabur) from the North Sumatra Public Prosecutor’s Office intelligence division and the Mandailing Natal District Public Prosecutor’s Office has successfully arrested a wanted individual, Julita Hasby Nasution (also known as Kultom bin Hobby Nasution), in connection with a forestry offense—specifically, illegal mining within a forest area.
The arrest took place at the individual’s rented home on Jalan Sukapura in Suka Maju Village, Medan Johor District, Medan, North Sumatra Province, on Monday, September 14, 2026.
“During the arrest, the convict’s family put up resistance; however, he was ultimately taken into custody and transported to the North Sumatra Public Prosecutor’s Office for administrative processing,” said Rizaldi, Head of the Legal Information Division at the North Sumatra Public Prosecutor’s Office, speaking to reporters on Monday, September 14, 2026.
He explained that the successful arrest of the fugitive was the result of coordination and cooperation between the intelligence teams of the Mandailing Natal Public Prosecutor’s Office and the North Sumatra Public Prosecutor’s Office.
“The arrest of this fugitive demonstrates the Public Prosecutor’s Office’s commitment to ensuring that every legally binding court ruling is enforced. We continue to collaborate and search for fugitives, particularly to support law enforcement and provide legal certainty to the public,” he stated.
The convict had previously been placed on the wanted list for a forestry offense—specifically, mining in a forest area. The fugitive had used heavy machinery to excavate the Lolo River and subsequently sifted the excavated soil in search of gold. The excavation site was located within a Limited Production Forest (HPT) area, as stated in the court panel’s ruling.

Pursuant to Supreme Court Ruling No. 1205K/Pid.Sus-LH/2025, the convicted individual was found legally and convincingly guilty of the offense of “intentionally conducting illegal operations in, utilizing, and/or occupying a forest area.”
“For these actions, the Supreme Court sentenced the individual to two years in prison and a fine of 10,000,000 rupiah,” he explained.
The fugitive had been under surveillance for some time, with his movements being monitored. Subsequently, coordination took place with the intelligence division of the North Sumatra High Prosecutor’s Office to pinpoint his location in Medan and effect an immediate arrest.
Following the arrest, the convicted individual was taken to the North Sumatra High Prosecutor’s Office for further legal proceedings to enforce the court’s ruling.
