Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration and Corrections (Menko Kumham Imipas) Yusril Ihza Mahendra said the protection of the TNI to prosecutors did not conflict with Law Number 3 of 2025 concerning the TNI.
The protection of the TNI to the prosecutor has been regulated in Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 66 of 2025 concerning the Protection of the State against Prosecutors in Carrying out the Tasks and Functions of the Indonesian Attorney General's Office.
"Not [contrary], actually the TNI [occupancy] is actually in terms of defense, right," said Yusril as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 22.
According to Yusril, prosecutors can carry out duties both at the center and to areas that have the potential to threaten their institutional position. Under these conditions, prosecutors can request assistance from the TNI on the basis of the prosecutor's decision.
"If prosecutors do, for example, prosecution of murder cases in several places, in mining areas in Papua; if the prosecutor carries out a prosecution for cases in the exclusive economic zone, it may be institutional threats," he said.
He also said that the Perpres had given clear limits regarding the protection that could be given by the TNI and Polri, namely that protection by the TNI was given to the prosecutor's office institutionally, while protection by the Police was given to the prosecutor and his family personally.

"So personally there are rules by the police, but institutionally it can involve the TNI if for example the prosecutor's office performs investigative and prosecution tasks against workers who have the potential to threaten the prosecutors from an institutional point of view," said Yusril.
