JAKARTA - Rear Admiral (Laksda) TNI Anwar Saadi was appointed as the first Deputy Attorney General for Military Crimes (JAMPidmil) at the Indonesian Attorney General's Office. Now he is waiting for his inauguration as JAMPidmil by Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin.

The appointment of Admiral TNI Anwar Saadi based on the Decree of the Commander of the TNI Number Kep/540/VI/2021 dated June 23, 2021 concerning Dismissal from and appointments in positions within the Indonesian National Army, mutations and promotions have been determined for the position of 104 TNI High Officers (Pati) consisting of 65 Pati TNI AD, 22 Pati TNI AL and 17 Pati TNI AU.

The Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) at the Attorney General's Office, Leonard Eben Ezer Simanjuntak, when confirmed when the Attorney General would inaugurate JAMPidmil, who had been appointed by the TNI Commander, said he would check the information first.

"I'll check first," Leonard answered shortly.

Two days earlier, Wednesday, June 23, news of the appointment of Laksda Anwar Saadi as JAMPidmil had circulated on social media and media crews. There was even a photo of the TNI Kababinkum standing in front of the podium with a photo narration mentioning his position as the first JAMPidmil at the Attorney General's Office.

Leonard had mentioned that there had been no official inauguration of JAMPidmil at that time. The photo is just a friendly event with the Kababinkum TNI and their ranks.

"It's not officially available yet. Yesterday it was just a coffee morning event with the Kababinkum TNI and its ranks," said Leonard.

The process of forming JAMPidmil has been running since June 2020. The Jampidmil is one of the programs to strengthen the AGO's institutions based on the principle of a single prosecution system that is universally applicable.
