Victims Already Give Sorry To Be One Of The AGO's Reasons To Stop Prosecuting These 4 Cases With Restorative Justice

The Madiun City Archives carried out restorative justice in the case of ANTARA/HO-Diskominfo embezzlement in Madiun City.

JAKARTA - Deputy Attorney General for General Crimes at the Attorney General's Office (Jampidum Kejagung) Fadil Zumhana approved four requests for termination of prosecution based on restorative justice. One of the reasons for giving the termination of prosecution based on restorative justice has been carried out in the peace process. "The suspect has apologized and the victim has apologized,” said the Head of the Attorney General's Office for Legal Information (Kapuspenkum Kejagung) Ketut Sumedana in a statement received in Jakarta, Antara, Friday, July 8. In addition, the Attorney General's Office also considers suspects who have never been convicted and/or have only committed a criminal act for the first time. The termination of prosecution based on restorative justice is also given to cases that are threatened with fines or imprisonment that are no more than five years. Furthermore, the suspect promised not to repeat his actions again. "The peace process is carried out voluntarily, by deliberation for consensus, without pressure, coercion, and intimidation," he also said. Another reason behind agreeing to stop prosecution based on restorative justice is that the suspect and the victim agreed not to continue the problem to trial, because it would not bring greater benefits, sociological considerations, and people who responded positively. "Furthermore, Jampidum ordered the heads of state prosecutors to issue a Decision on Termination of Prosecution (SKP2) based on Restorative Justice,” Sumedana said. The four case files that were discontinued based on restorative justice were suspect Abdul Fakri Als Abah bin Sakmal from the Bengkulu District Attorney's Office who was suspected of violating Article 351 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code concerning Persecution, and the suspect Haris Wiangga bin Ciwang from the Indramayu District Attorney's Office who was suspected of violating Article 362 of the Criminal Code regarding theft. Then, the suspect Andri Ramdani bin (late) Enan Saputra from the Indramayu District Attorney's Office who was suspected of violating Article 362 of the Criminal Code regarding theft, and the suspect Yanuaruius Yogi from the Nabire District Attorney's Office who was suspected of violating Article 362 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 53 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code regarding theft.
