JAKARTA - The Mandiando Block mega-corruption case handled by the Attorney General's Office so far has made corruptors angry. Even corrupt supporters use all means to hinder the law enforcement process taken by Attorney General ST Burhanuddin. This condition is agreed by the Legal Observer and the Attorney General's Office, Fajar Trio. According to him, corruptors are making every effort to weaken the image of the Adhyaksa institution which is intensively eradicating corruption in this country. "In my opinion, eradicating corruption cases, especially the Mandiodo Block case handled by the Attorney General's Office, is currently so massive. This condition certainly makes corruptors and their supporters fight back, it must be watched out. It is very natural for corruptors to continue to look for ways to fight corruption eradication efforts that are intensively carried out by Attorney General ST Burhanuddin," said Fajar in Jakarta, Friday, October 27.

He then gave an example of a case that was an attempt to fight back against the corruptors. Namely by vilifying and destroying institutional dignity such as selling the name of the Attorney General as did Amel Sabar, a broker in the case of investigating the corruption of nickel ore mining in the Mandiodo Block which is currently being handled by the AGO Pidsus. In fact, he said, in the trial of a case, there were also witnesses or defendants who mentioned the name of the Attorney General as Papa. However, according to Fajar, this cannot be used as a fact because it is only based on assumptions and how case brokers use the name of the prosecutor's office to smooth their crime. "People like Amel and these corruptors have been arrested and urged to make a diversion of issues by throwing baseless accusations and are only assumptions. These corruptors certainly use all means to build negative opinions for both individuals and Adhyaksa institutions, including targeting the Attorney General," he said.

Reflecting on these conditions, Fajar asked the ranks of the Prosecutor's Office to remain focused on handling corruption cases to completion. For example, the handling of criminal acts of corruption as a predicate crime must be followed by handling and proving further criminal acts (follow up crimes) such as money laundering (TPPU). "In addition, the Attorney General must encourage the ranks of the supervisory sector not to carry out formal monitoring and inspections solely or not merely to find substantial mistakes. Because, the Supervision Sector bears a big responsibility in improving the professionalism and integrity of all Adhyaksa People as legal fighters," he said.
