The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the withdrawal of 10 prosecutors at its institution to the Attorney General's Office (AGO) will not interfere with the prosecution. Of these, only four are currently handling the case on trial.

"The prosecution task force team is only four people (who were withdrawn, ed)," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters quoted on Saturday, August 31.

"While the others are on duty at the anti-corruption commission in other parts," said Tessa. "So it doesn't interfere with ongoing prosecution activities," he said.

The prosecutors will return to the Attorney General's Office effectively as of September 1. However, Tessa said that there is still one person who will be sent home later because he is currently studying.

Later, the repatriation to the Adhyaksa Corps will only be carried out after the activity is completed. But the rest (will be faced or repatriated, ed) in accordance with the letter that was issued on September 1,' said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

As for his replacement, Tessa said the calculation of the needs of prosecutor personnel was still calculated by the KPK HR Bureau. "So how much will be needed to be analyzed later," he said.

"It can be (the number of needs, red) more, it could be less," continued Tessa.

As previously reported, the Attorney General's Office asked 10 prosecutors on duty at the KPK to return. One of them is Ali Fikri, who used to be the spokesperson for the KPK for prosecution before being replaced by Tessa Mahardika.

This request was made as a refresher and not related to the handling of corruption cases. These prosecutors are said to have served for up to 10 years or even more.
