JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) appreciates the arrest operation (OTT) carried out by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) against a prosecutor in the Banten High Court (Kejati).
Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Indonesian Attorney General's Office, Anang Supriatna, said the silent operation was related to alleged extortion in handling general criminal cases involving foreign citizens (WNA) from South Korea.
"It is true that yesterday there was a hand-catching operation carried out by the KPK, one of which was a prosecutor from the Banten High Prosecutor's Office," he told the media at the Attorney General's Office, South Jakarta, Friday, December 19, 2025.
Therefore, Anang appreciates the KPK's step as a form of synergy and collaboration between law enforcement in cleaning the institution from problematic individuals. In the OTT, the KPK handed over three people to the Prosecutor's Office, namely one prosecutor with the initials RZ and two private parties with the initials DF and MS.
"We personally thank and appreciate it. This is a form of coordination, synergy, and collaboration to clean up the problematic prosecutors," he said.
Anang admitted that the Kejaksaan Agung had actually conducted an investigation since December 17, 2025 and appointed two additional suspects. So the total number of suspects in this case is five people.
The three prosecutors are initials HMK, RP, and RZ. Suspect RZ is a prosecutor who was caught by the KPK OTT, while HMK and RP were designated as suspects by the Prosecutor's Office.
"There are five suspects, consisting of three prosecutors and two private parties," he said.
According to him, the suspect HMK was known to have served as the Head of the General Criminal Section (Kasipidum) at the Tigaraksa District Prosecutor's Office. Then the suspect RP as the Public Prosecutor, and RZ is a structural official of the Kasubag at the Banten Prosecutor's Office.
The case of extortion began with the handling of a general criminal case of the Information and Electronic Transaction Law (ITE), with the complainant a South Korean citizen.
"This extortion is suspected to be related to the handling of cases, one of which is that the case can be P21 or other interests that are currently being investigated by investigators," he said.
In the hand-to-hand, the anti-corruption agency seized cash of around Rp941 million. Anang also explained that when the search was carried out, one of the suspects was not found because it turned out that he had already been at the KPK.
Anang ensured that his party would not protect internal figures who were proven to have violated the law.
"In principle, we will not protect individuals within our internal. As long as there is strong evidence, it will definitely be followed up, including if there is involvement of other parties on it," he said.
