Medan - The Head of the North Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office, Muhibuddin, was appointed as a member of the special investigation team of the Attorney General's Office to handle the alleged corruption and money laundering cases that ensnared the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah.

Head of the Legal Information Section of the North Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office, Rizaldi, said Muhibuddin was trusted to carry out the task professionally in accordance with the mandate given by the Attorney General's Office.

"Regarding professionalism, we are sure he is a professional," said Rizaldi as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, July 18.

He said that every Adhyaksa person who was given the mandate to handle the case was obliged to work objectively, professionally, and guided by the provisions of laws and regulations.

"Hopefully, every person in the prosecutor's office who is given the task can carry it out well and according to the applicable rules," he said.

According to Rizaldi, Muhibuddin's experience as an investigator for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for 10 years is one of the important assets in carrying out his duties as a special investigator team member.

"Yes, he has been a KPK investigator for ten years," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Legal Information Center of the Attorney General's Office, Anang Supriatna, said the special investigation team consisted of nine senior prosecutors, most of whom were former KPK investigators.

In addition to Muhibuddin, the team members are Agus Salim as Inspector of Finance II at Jamwas, Chatarina Muliana Girsang as Head of the Center for Investigation and Asset Recovery Management of the Attorney General's Office, Riyono as Inspector of Finance I at Jamwas, Agus Sahat S.T. Lumban Gaol as Secretary of the Attorney General's Deputy for General Criminal Cases (Sesjampidum).

Then Irene Putri as the Director of Legal Considerations at Jamdatun, Rinaldi Umar as Deputy Head of the Banten High Prosecutor's Office, Zet Tadung Allo as Director of Prosecution at Jampidmil, and Hari Wibowo as Director A at Jampidum Kejagung.

"Most of the former KPK investigators, the others are also senior. All of these stars," said Anang.

Anang said that all team members came from outside the environment of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes to minimize potential conflicts of interest while maintaining the independence of handling cases.

However, the special investigation team still coordinates with the investigators of the National Police's Corruption Eradication Task Force, who previously handled the case, to complete the investigation process.

The Attorney General's Office has issued a new investigation order (Sprindik) after receiving the transfer of handling the case from the Polri Kortastipidkor.

Febrie Adriansyah was previously named a suspect in three cases of alleged corruption and money laundering, namely related to PT Asabri, alleged corruption of coal for steam power plants, and PT Krakatau Steel. The handling of the case was then transferred from the Polri Kortastipidkor to the Attorney General's Office.
