The Attorney General's Office submitted documents related to the alleged obstruction of case investigations through negative narratives to the Press Council.
"Today, of course, the AGO's Legal Information Center will continue the various documents requested by the Press Council. After the Puspenkum received it from investigators (Jampidsus), we will forward it to the Press Council," said Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) AGO Harli Siregar at the Press Council Building, Jakarta, Thursday, April 24, confiscated by Antara.
Harli said that the number of documents submitted was 10 bundles and in the form of hard copies.
Regarding the details of the contents of the documents submitted, Harli was reluctant to reveal them. "Let it be first, later the Press Council will work and of course the Press Council will judge first," he said.

Previously, the AGO had named three suspects in the alleged obstruction case handling at the Attorney General's Office, namely MS (Marcella Santoso) as advocate, JS (Junaedi Saibih) as lecturer and advocate, and TB (Tian Bahtiar) as Director of JAKTV News.
The obstruction effort was carried out in connection with a series of cases of corruption in the tin commodity trading system in the mining business permit (IUP) area of PT Timah Tbk in 2015 '2022, corruption in sugar importation activities on behalf of the suspect Tom Lembong, and corruption cases in the provision of crude palm oil (CPO) export facilities.
Director of Investigation at the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) at the Attorney General's Office Abdul Qohar said that the suspects MS and JS ordered the suspect TB to make negative news that cornered Jampidsus investigators at the Attorney General's Office in exchange for a fee of Rp478,500,000.00.
The money went into the suspect TB's personal pocket. "The suspect TB then published it on social media, online media, and JAKTV News so that the prosecutor's office was considered negative," he said.
In addition to news, suspects JS and MS also finance demonstrations and seminars, podcasts, and talk shows that corner the prosecutor's office.
The results of the activity were then published by the suspect TB through the media.
The three suspects were also subject to Article 21 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
