ACEH - The Aceh High Prosecutor's Office stated that the Junior Attorney General for General Crimes (Jampidum) approved the termination of the prosecution of three cases of applying restorative justice.

Head of the Legal Information and Public Relations Section of the Aceh High Prosecutor's Office, Munawal Hadi, said the three cases were handled by the Aceh Tamiang District Attorney and the West Aceh District Attorney's Office.

"The termination of the prosecution of the case was based on a request on behalf of the suspect Yuspandi Marundi from the West Aceh District Attorney and the suspect Dody Arisandy and the suspect Aftar from the Aceh Tamiang District Attorney," said Munawal Hadi in Banda Aceh, Antara, Friday, February 18.

Munawal Hadi said that Yuspandi Marundi was suspected of violating Article 352 Paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code regarding persecution. The case was terminated because the suspect and victim had reconciled.

"In addition, the reason for the termination of the case is because the suspect is the first to commit a crime. And the suspect feels guilty and also pays for the victim's medical expenses," said Munawal Hadi.

Meanwhile, the suspect Dody Arisandy is suspected of violating Article 77 of UURI Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to UURI Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection or Article 49 letter a of UURI Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence.

The suspect is suspected of neglecting his wife and child. As a result of this neglect, the suspect's wife owes money to support her daily life with their child.

The reason for the termination of the case, said Munawal Hadi, was that the suspect and victim were husband and wife. The suspect has apologized and did not repeat his actions. The victim, who is also the suspect's wife, has forgiven him.

"While the third case is with the suspect Aftar, who is suspected of violating Article 362 of the Criminal Code regarding theft. The case was terminated because the parties had reconciled and the suspect returned the stolen victim's motorbike," said Munawal Hadi.
