JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto has granted amnesty to 1,178 inmates through Presidential Decree No. 17 of 2025. One of them, former Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto who lived in the KPK Detention Center and became the recipient of forgiveness for the first time.

This is known from the Letter of the Director General of Corrections of the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections (Imipas) number PAS-PK.01.02-1296 regarding the change in the time limit for the release of amnesty and the delivery of copies of the Presidential Decree amnesty for prisoners.

Hasto was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for being found guilty in the bribery case for the interim replacement (PAW) of members of the DPR RI for the 2019-2024 period. Even so, he actually has not had the status of a convict because the decision has not yet had permanent legal force.

"Hasto Kristiyanto bin Krido Hardjosastro; (criminal age, ed) is still in detention; (genital, red) male; (regional office, red) DKI Jakarta; (UPT, red) KPK Detention Center Branch," he was quoted as saying from a letter circulating on Monday, August 4.

Hasto is currently breathing free air after leaving the KPK detention center on Friday night, August 1. He even the next day or Saturday, August 2 attended the PDIP VI Congress.

Meanwhile, the KPK agreed with the amnesty given by President Prabowo Subianto to historic Hasto. Only the politician received pardons from the president.

"As for the KPK itself, as far as I am serving here, this is the first, this amnesty," said Asep at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday night, August 1.

Asep admitted that he could not talk much about the pardon. We have to understand that amnesty, clemency, abolition is the prerogative of the President. It is regulated in Article 1945 Constitution. Let colleagues see, yes, there," he said.

"So because it is a prerogative, yes, we have to implement it. From this Presidential Decree, we must implement this Presidential Decree," continued Asep, who also serves as Director of KPK Investigations.

Furthermore, it is certain that the KPK will analyze Hasto's amnesty. However, the ongoing legal process in this case, including the pursuit of Harun Masiku, who is still at large, will continue to be carried out.

"If we look into the legal impact, if there are no others. We will still be for Harun Masiku, we will look for it, we will take it to trial," concluded Asep.
