The Riau Islands High Prosecutor's Office examined a prosecutor with the initials HAS on suspicion of involvement in illegal logging in the forest area of Sijunjung Regency, West Sumatra.

"It is true, the person concerned (HAS) has been investigated regarding alleged disciplinary violations," said Head of the Legal Information Section of the Riau Islands Prosecutor's Office, Yusnar Yusudilan ANTARA, Wednesday, December 10.

He also said that for now HAS has been sentenced to severe disciplinary penalties in the form of his release from office to an executive position for 12 months.

However, the person concerned filed an objection or appeal against the decision to impose the disciplinary sentence.

"The appeal process is ongoing, according to the applicable mechanism," he said.

HAS, who previously served as head of the Sub-Division of Development at the Bintan District Attorney's Office, is now being placed or fostered in the Supervision Division of the Riau Islands Prosecutor's Office, while waiting for the completion of the examination as well as the imposition of disciplinary punishment with permanent legal force.

He did not elaborate further on the issue involving the HAS prosecutor, after the viral video of the alleged involvement in the illegal logging in the West Sumatra forest area.

"Friends of partner media can directly question the Head of the West Sumatra Prosecutor's Office, because the locus delicti is in the jurisdiction of the West Sumatra Prosecutor's Office," he said.
