JAKARTA - The Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) Anang Supriatna said Attorney General ST Burhanuddin would take firm action against prosecutors who misused seized assets.

"The Attorney General emphasized that if there are individuals (prosecutors) who control (seized assets) without the knowledge and official permission of the institution, it could be adamens rea (evil intent) to have it secretly, to be taken seriously," he said as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, February 12.

Anang said, the Attorney General, in the Asset Recovery Agency (BPA) Anniversary event, asked the agency to organize and trace seized assets from corruption cases so that they are not misused by the internal Prosecutor's Office.

"He received information that some assets, both in the form of apartments and hotels, came from the results of corruption cases that were tried in the Central Jakarta District Court and fell under the jurisdiction of the DKI High Prosecutor's Office, to be thoroughly investigated and tracked. Don't let there be abuse," he said.

If later in the action it is found that there is a violation of ethics, then the individual prosecutor will be processed by the Attorney General's Office for Supervision (Jamwas). If there is a criminal element, then the Prosecutor's Office will also investigate the crime.

"This is a strong warning. Not only for (the prosecutor) in Jakarta, but also outside Jakarta," he said.

The Attorney General in the BPA Anniversary event revealed that there were still many Attorney General's assets that were secretly controlled by prosecutors.

"Many of our assets are still 'scattered', our assets that we should have, are still being questioned by prosecutors, especially for Central Jakarta," he said.

"There are many assets that are not owned by the prosecutor, occupied by the prosecutor, and secretly hope to forget that there are assets in his hands. Try apartments, please investigate. I know exactly," he added.

He emphasized that abuse must be stopped so that confiscated assets can be managed to recover state financial losses.

"I hope this will really be collected. No more. Whoever wears it must have permission from the BPA," he said.
