Febrie Adriansyah case, Yusril asks KPK not to take over

Responding to the Febrie Adriansyah case, Coordinating Minister for Legal, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra hopes that the public will give the Attorney General's Office the opportunity to complete the investigation of the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus).

In addition, Yusril also asked that the case not be rushed to be taken over by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This was conveyed by Yusril at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Monday, July 20.

Yusril said that the investigation, which was originally carried out by the National Police, has now been continued by the Attorney General's Office. According to Yusril, the process is still running according to the legal mechanism. He explained that the Attorney General's Office did not start the investigation from the beginning or appoint a new suspect, but continued the investigation that had been carried out by the National Police investigators by strengthening the evidence and examining witnesses.

Yusril reminded that the KPK Law does give the KPK the authority to supervise, even take over the investigation of corruption cases under certain conditions. However, this authority should not be used as long as the investigation is professional and transparent.

Yusril also assessed that the investigation of the case of the former Jampidsus Febrie had the potential to run faster after being continued by the Attorney General's Office. According to Yusril, acceleration is possible because the functions of investigation and prosecution are in one organizational structure.
