The North Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office denied that there were 10 prosecutors at the Asahan Kejari who abused their positions by asking for tens of millions of money to cars from the convicts.

"We need to convey that related to the news so far, clarification has been made of the information and the report," said Head of North Sumatra Attorney General's Office Yos A Tarigan in Medan as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, May 25.

He said this clarification had been made to parties who intersect with the news, including the clarification of the convict in question in the news.

"So far, no evidence has been found. In fact, the convicts denied this," said the Head of the North Sumatra Attorney General's Office.

However, the former Head of Special Investigation Unit of the Deli Serdang Kejari said that if there was other information or evidence, please submit it to the North Sumatra Prosecutor's Office.

"Because the North Sumatra Prosecutor's Office has a Hotline and a written report can be submitted through One Stop Integrated Service (PTSP)," he said.

He said the news was very unfortunate because it tended to lead to opinions or convey things without the support of strong data and facts.

"Report with complete data and facts, we will process every complaint related to the land mafia, mafia case or rogue prosecutor. If the report given is not proven, it will have legal consequences for those who report it," said Yos.

He emphasized that the process of handling a case was not immediately completed in a short time, but it needed a process.

"During the process of handling this case, the public is very open to providing objections, input or new evidence that strengthens it," he said.
