JAKARTA - The leadership of the DPD RI supports the move by the Indonesian Attorney General ST Burhanuddin who will examine the possibility of applying the death penalty to provide a sense of justice in the prosecution of corruption cases of two state-owned insurance companies PT Jiwasraya and PT Asabri.

"I think this is a discourse that is able to provide a sense of justice for the community, even though it is very difficult and requires a lot of consideration or further study," he continued. Sovereignty, the government through the prosecutor's office has the right to sue more firmly against any crime that is detrimental to the state and public finances.

"We agree that financial crimes such as corruption are extraordinary crimes that are very detrimental to the state and public finances," said the former deputy governor of Bengkulu.

He added that the death penalty rules for corruption and economic crimes like this are categorized as special crimes. "So it is very reasonable if the prosecutor's institution considers the death penalty discourse," concluded Sultan Najamuddin.

Burhanuddin referred to major corruption cases handled by the AGO, such as the corruption cases of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya and PT Asabari which caused large state financial losses. The Supreme Court is reviewing the possibility of applying the death penalty in order to provide a sense of justice in the prosecution of the case.
