If there are prosecutors who are proven to have made mistakes, they will be dealt with firmly," he said.

Kajati North Sumatra emphasized that the Attorney General always warned his staff not to mess around with the handling of cases. Therefore, there is no place for prosecutors to misappropriate positions.
