BANJARMASIN - Deputy Attorney General for General Crimes (Jampidum) the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia Fadil Zumhana approved three cases in South Kalimantan applying "restorative justice" or restorative justice.
"The charges against the three defendants have been officially dismissed and they have been released," said Head of Penkum at the South Kalimantan High Prosecutor's Office, Romadu Novelino, in Banjarmasin, as quoted by Antara, Friday, April 22.
The decision was taken after a virtual case exposure was carried out by the Head of South Kalimantan, Mukri, accompanied by Wakajati Ahmad Yani and Aspidum Indah Laila.
The three cases, namely the two crimes of theft as referred to in Article 362 of the Criminal Code concerning theft and one case of persecution, Article 351 of the Criminal Code concerning Persecution.
The theft case with the defendant M Ainul Yaqin occurred in Martapura Kota District, Banjar Regency. Ainul stole valuables from his neighbor's house.
The restorative justice process pursued by the Banjar Kejari bore fruit after a peace agreement was reached between the victim and the perpetrator.
The second case was the theft in North Tapin District, Tapin Regency with the defendant M Irwan Fadillah. The perpetrator took the victim's bag containing two cellphones and Rp. 200,000 while the victim was buying medicine at a drug store, resulting in a total loss of Rp. 3.65 million. However, through restorative justice facilitated by the Tapin Kejari, they finally agreed to make peace and the perpetrators returned all of the victim's belongings.
The third case is the persecution of the defendant Supandi who was caught by the law after beating the victim with the initial R with a stick in Murung Pudak District, Tabalong Regency.
Luckily for Supandi the case did not reach the trial stage because a peace agreement with the victim was reached facilitated by the Tabalong Kejari.
Novelino said that the three cases were judged by the Jampidum AGO to meet the criteria for restorative justice because the defendants had only committed a crime once and were threatened with a sentence of not up to 5 years in prison and peace.
