45 Legal Cases In Central Java Completed Through Restorative Justice

JAKARTA - The Central Java Attorney General's Office noted that 45 general criminal cases had been terminated because they were resolved through restorative justice.

Head of the Central Java High Prosecutor's Office Andi Herman after the commemoration of the 62nd Adhiyaksa Bhakti Day in Semarang, said that dozens of these cases were cases handled by various state prosecutors in this province during 2022.

He explained that cases resolved through restorative justice were not included in serious crimes.

"Actually, 52 cases have been proposed, but after being evaluated, seven cases were deemed ineligible," Andi said, Friday, July 22, quoted from Antara.

The seven cases that did not meet the requirements to be resolved through restorative justice, he said, would still receive special consideration, although they were eventually transferred to court.

"Actually, the case has been reconciled, but there are conditions that are not fulfilled," he said.

According to him, the public prosecutor will still give lighter demands.

The Prosecutor's Office itself, he continued, already has 57 Restorative Justice Houses spread across various regions in Central Java.

He invited the public to use it as part of socialization and education about restorative justice.
