JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office confirmed that the recall of 10 senior prosecutors assigned to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was not related to the handling of the case. "We emphasize that it is not related to the handling of the case, but because it is more in the process of refreshment," said the Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General's Office Harli Siregar in Jakarta on Tuesday night.. He said that the prosecutors had served for about 10-12 years, so it was necessary to regenerate members. The figure of the 10 prosecutors is currently still in the process of coordination between the Attorney General's Office and the KPK. Meanwhile, regarding the names of 10 prosecutors who were recalled, Harli still could not reveal it. "I have repeatedly conveyed that related the names are still technically in the field of staffing. Later, the prosecutors under him will coordinate, if I'm not mistaken with the secretariat at the KPK," he said. In line with Kapuspenkum Harli, KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardhika on Monday (5/8) said that the withdrawal of the prosecutors had nothing to do with the case being handled.. "It is in principle only a refresher at the prosecutor's office so that there is regeneration, so that the prosecutors under it can work. Maybe if the prosecutors are pulled by Kasatgas, the prosecutors under it will replace as Kasatgas," he said. He believes that if the prosecutors are not problematic, they will be promoted for even higher positions.

In addition, Tessa has not been able to reveal who the names of the prosecutors have been withdrawn. "I have not received any information on who the prosecutors are whose term of service has been completed or more than 10 years," he said.
