JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office has officially dismissed Pinangki Sirna Malasari dishonorably from ASN status. The dismissal was based on the decision of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia number 185 of 2021, dated August 6, 2021.

"The attorney general decides to dishonorably dismiss him as a civil servant on behalf of Pinangki Sirna Malasari", said Head of  Attorney General, Leonard Eben Ezer Simanjuntak, to reporters on Friday, August 6.

In addition, the dismissal decision also refers to a court decision that has permanent legal force. Whereat the first level and on appeal Pinangki was declared legally and convincingly proven to have committed a criminal act of gratification for administering the fatwa of the Supreme Court.

"The decision of the DKI Jakarta High Court Number 10/pidsus-tpk/2021/PTDKI dated June 14, 2021, where the decision has permanent legal force on behalf of Dr. Pinangki Sirna Malasari SH MH, is declared to have been legally and convincingly proven to have committed a criminal act of corruption", said Leonard.

The decision was also based on the provisions of Article 87 paragraph 4 letter d of Law number 5 of 2014 concerning ASN and Article 250 letter b of government regulation number 11 of 2017 concerning the management of civil servants as amended by PP number 7 of 2020 concerning amendments to PP number 11 of 2017 concerning Civil Servant Management.

The regulation states that civil servants are dishonorably discharged if they are sentenced to imprisonment or confinement based on a court decision that has permanent legal force for committing a crime of office or crime related to the position.

"(The decision) revokes the contents of the Attorney General's Decree No. 164 of 2020 dated August 12, 2020, calmly suspends his civil service position on behalf of Pinangki Sirna Malasari", said Leonard.

For information, the Jakarta Corruption Court found Pinangki Sirna Malasari guilty of the gratification case for managing the fatwa of the Supreme Court. Pinangki was sentenced to 10 years in prison and sentenced to pay a fine of IDR 600 million subsidiaries 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.
