JAKARTA - Head of the Indonesian National Armed Forces Information Center (Kapuspen) Maj. Gen. Nugraha Gumilar explained that the presence of military police (POM) guarding the Attorney General's Office Building along with several prosecutors was a follow-up to the MoU (memorandum of understanding) signed by the two institutions on April 6, 2023. Kapuspen TNI ensured that until now the assistance of military police personnel to maintain security within the AGO has been running as usual. "The Attorney General's Office's Security by the TNI Military Police is carried out on the basis of the Attorney General's Office and the TNI signed MoU Number 4 of 2023 and MoU Number NK / 6 / IV / 2023 / TNI on April 6, 2023,” Nugraha Gumilar said when contacted in Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, May 26. He said the cooperation in the MoU includes the assignment of TNI soldiers within the Prosecutor's Office, for example, such as the Deputy Attorney General for Military Crimes (Jampidmil), and the support of TNI personnel assistance in carrying out the duties and functions of the Prosecutor's Office. “ It is in Article 7,” said Nugraha. He also emphasized that security assistance from the TNI POM at the Attorney General's Office has also been going on for a long time, at least since the MoU was signed by the AGO and the TNI in 2023. " “ Security assistance was carried out long before in order to support law enforcement activities, because we have Jampidmil there," said Kapuspen TNI. The TNI Military Police Center (Puspom) in its upload to its official Instagram account had displayed a number of photos of the security of the Attorney General's Building by a number of military police. “Security Situation at the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia has increased surveillance after the alleged stalking of Jampidsus by members of Densus 88. To ensure security and order in the environment, TNI military police personnel were deployed to carry out special security led by First Lieutenant Pom Andri, Jakarta, 24/5/2024,” according to the photo caption in the upload. In the same statement, the upload stated that the security measure was a response to concerns and threats felt as a result of the stalking incident. “ TNI Puspom personnel are working with the internal security forces of the Attorney General's Office as well as other law enforcement officials to identify and anticipate potential threats. This security includes routine patrols, vehicle inspections, as well as surveillance of individuals entering and leaving the Attorney General's area,” reads the photo caption from the TNI Puspom upload as of Saturday (25/5) which was deleted on Sunday. Related to that, the Head of the Indonesian National Armed Forces straightened out the security assistance by the military police had nothing to do with the case.

"It has nothing to do with the busy cases being discussed, the implementation of security is normal as usual. Nothing special," said Kapuspen TNI.
