SUMBAR - The Payakumbuh District Attorney's Office (Kejari) has decided to stop the legal process of prosecuting 3 cases through restorative justice in the last six months.

Head of the Payakumbuh District Attorney's Office, Suwarsono, said the three cases included 2 cases of theft and one narcotics case.

"From January 2023 to July, there are three cases that have been resolved or their prosecutions stopped through restorative justice," he said in Payakumbuh, West Sumatra (West Sumatra), Monday, July 24, which was confiscated by Antara.

Suwarsono said that the termination of prosecution of three cases through restorative justice had been approved by the Attorney General's Office (AGO).

"Of the three cases, two cases are at the Payakumbuh Kejari and one more case is at the Payakumbuh District Attorney's Branch in Suliki," he said.

According to him, narcotics suspects whose prosecutions have been stopped through restorative justice have fulfilled the requirements and have agreed by the AGO.

Suwarsono said the rules that became the basis for the prosecutor's office were Attorney General Regulation Number 15 of 2020 and Guidelines for the Attorney General Number 18 of 2021.

Some of the requirements for restorative justice include the first time the defendant committed a criminal act, the threat of punishment under 5 years, having a peace agreement between the suspect and the victim.

"For the narcotics, a number of conditions, such as the final user concerned, the assessment team's approval with community leaders, where the person concerned is domiciled," he said.

He hopes that the implementers of restorative justice in the future will no longer repeat the same mistakes.
