Yes you can leave out the second "has been". However, the sentence is long, and maybe could have a period at Persada. Then say "This company has been seized, and the director arrested by the Sabang police in AN illegal logging case which CONCERNS a school construction in that city.
This avoids using the city name twice as well. I used CAPS to show where to change/add words

IMO, since it repeats, you can omit it in the second occurrence and the meaning will not change. Any professors out there please correct me if I am wrong.
the company has been seized and its director arrested...
Similiar to:
I play soccer and I play baseball. becoming I play soccer and baseball.
