JAKARTA - It is suspected that the former Pinangki prosecutor Sirna Malasari is still being treated with preferential treatment. Reportedly, the convict in the bribery and gratification case, Djoko Tjandra, is still imprisoned at the Salemba Detention Center of the Attorney General's Office branch.

Whereas Pinangki should have been transferred to the Class IIA Rutan Pondok Bambu, East Jakarta. The condition again raises public questions, what is wrong with the Attorney General's Office and Pinangki.

Knowing this information, the Coordinator of the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI), Boyamin Saiman said that the special treatment for Pinangki's detention was a form of disparity in law enforcement by Attorney General ST Burhanuddin and his subordinates.

His party will also report the information to the Deputy Attorney General for Supervision (Jamwas) and the Prosecutor's Commission (Komjak).

"It is clear that the prosecutor's office has disparity in law enforcement. We will report to Jamwas and Komjak on this case," Boyamin told reporters, Friday, July 30, 2021.

He also urged Pinangki as a convict to be executed immediately at the Pondok Bambu Rutan.

"I suspect that the concern that things are being deliberately covered up is true," he explained.

Previously, the Jakarta Corruption Court sentenced Pinangki Sirna Malasari to 10 years in prison and sentenced to pay a fine of Rp600 million, subsidiary to 6 months in prison.

However, the DKI Jakarta High Court at the appeal hearing on Monday, June 14 2021, cut Pinangki's sentence from 10 years to four years. One of the reasons the judge cut the sentence was that the defendant as a woman must receive attention, protection, and be treated fairly.

However, the Attorney General's Office decided not to file an appeal regarding the decision of the DKI Jakarta High Court which cut the sentence of former Pinangki prosecutor Sirna Malasari from 10 years to 4 years in prison.

Not only that, as a result of the decision, the sentence of Djoko Tjandra as the party who committed the bribery was also reduced to 3.5 years in prison.

"The source of the problem, if we trace it, is actually the reluctance of the Attorney General to order the public prosecutor to file a cassation and it seems to me that this was not even ordered. This means that it could even be forbidden to file an cassation," said Boyamin.

According to him, the Attorney General has been silent all this time, even though there are many pressures and he has even reported it to the president. Namely to order the Attorney General to file an appeal.

"But in fact there was no cassation and the only answer was the Central Jakarta Kajari, who said there was no reason to file an cassation. Even though there were many reasons to file an cassation," he said.

He also said that this must be returned to the source of the problem, namely the issue of the Attorney General who did not order an cassation.

"That's what the president should have done, whether or not I wanted to ask me to remove the Attorney General because it didn't fulfill the people's sense of justice," he said.
