The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said M. Asri Irwan was immediately appointed as Acting Director (Plt) of Prosecution so that the division's work would not be disrupted. He was appointed to the post after Rohcahyanto returned to the Attorney General's Office. "To fill the void so that the case handling process (continues to run, ed). Because this is running every day," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, February 6. Ali ensured that Asri was a qualified senior prosecutor to replace Fitroh. He has pocketed various experiences. "He is also a senior prosecutor on the 10th floor, at the Directorate of Prosecution. With his experience and technical ability, he can temporarily lead the Directorate of Prosecution," he said. Reporting from various sources, Asri is a prosecutor who has joined the KPK since 2014. He has handled various cases. One of the cases he handled was bribery for mining business permits in Tanah Bumbu. Asri was one of the public prosecutors (JPU) at the trial with the defendant, former Tanah Bumbu Regent Mardani Maming. In addition, Asri has also handled a case of alleged gratification of former South Sulawesi Governor Nurdin Abdullah. Previously, the KPK confirmed that Rohcahyanto had returned to the Adhyaksa Corps. However, they denied that the issue circulating this return was due to an investigation into alleged corruption in the Formula E race in DKI Jakarta. It was stated that Fitroh chose to return to the Prosecutor's Office because he wanted to have a career there. Moreover, he has served at the KPK for a dozen years.
