West Sumatra Attorney General Denies Dharmasraya District Attorney Arrested, The Correct One Asked for Clarification of the AGO regarding Public Complaints

PADANG - The West Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office denied the issue of the Head of the District Attorney's Office Dharmasraya, the Head of the General Crimes Section, and a prosecutor was arrested by a team from the Attorney General's Office.

"There have been no arrests as reported by several media, both print and online, the truth is the request for clarification from the AGO team", said West Sumatra Attorney General Intelligence Assistant Mustaqpirin, in Padang, quoted by Antara, Friday, September 24.

Currently, District Attorney, Public Crime Prosecutor, and a public prosecutor (JPU) have returned to West Sumatra.

Mustaqpirin said that his party was only able to provide official information today because they were waiting for complete data and information from the AGO.

According to him, the clarification made by the Attorney General's Office for the ranks of the Dharmasraya Kejari started from reports received by the public regarding general criminal cases.

"There are parties who have sent a letter to the AGO because they suspect that the Attorney General's Office of Dharmasraya has abused their authority in handling forest protection cases", he said.

The AGO followed up the report by sending two people as a team to Dharmasraya to clarify the prosecutor's concerns because he needed information.

"For clarification, a team from the AGO came to Dharmasraya to ask for information, not arrests", continued Mustaqpirin.

After the arrival of the AGO team, District Attorney Dharmasraya, Public Crime Prosecutor, and the Public Prosecutor went to Jakarta (AGO) on Thursday, September 23 to clarify issues and position cases related to the initial report.

"They left on Thursday for Jakarta to explain and submit several related documents needed", he said.

Mustaqpirin explained that the prosecutor came to explain the position of the case, while the Public Crime Prosecutor was present as the controller of general criminal cases, and District Attorney accompanied him as the leader.

"So we need to straighten it out so that the news doesn't get mixed up and cause a commotion in the community", said Mustaqpirin.
