It is known, Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin is reviewing the possibility of applying the death penalty in prosecuting cases of alleged high-profile corruption crimes.
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 Attorney General is reviewing the possibility of applying the death penalty to provide a sense of justice in the prosecution of the case. Of course, its application must continue to pay attention to the applicable positive law and human rights values", said Head of the Attorney General's Office for Legal Information Center Leonard Eben Ezer Simanjuntak in his statement, Thursday, October 28.
On the other hand, KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri welcomed the Attorney General's idea of a plan to review the death penalty for corruption perpetrators.
"It needs to be supported because the death penalty is only regulated in Article 2 paragraph 2 of the Anti-Corruption Law, it needs to be expanded not only for corruption in Article 2 paragraph 1 of the Anti-Corruption Law", said Firli.
