JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD stated that the Attorney General's Office has acted professionally and seriously in handling cases of alleged fraud and embezzlement of Indosurya Savings and Loans Cooperative (KSP) funds. "(The case of KSP) Indosurya is yes if from our point of view, the Attorney General's Office is very professional and serious," Mahfud told reporters in Jakarta, Tuesday. Therefore, he regretted the parties who cornered the Attorney General's Office regarding the acquittal of the defendants in the case, even though the indictments given by the public prosecutor were clear. "People make banners as if the Attorney General's Office had to be examined. Obviously, the indictments are clear. But, the court that decided to be free," Mahfud said. He was also of the opinion that the case of alleged fraud and embezzlement of KSP Indosurya's funds included a criminal act, as he discussed with representatives of the Attorney General's Office and the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. "In fact, the prosecution also stated that, how Indosurya collected money from the public, even though it is not a bank, it is not allowed. Then it was used in the form of hidden economic activities. It was later used in the form of money laundering, violating the Banking Law, violating the issue of money laundering," explained Mahfud. Previously, the panel of judges at the West Jakarta District Court assessed that the defendant's actions in the KSP Indosurya case, namely the owner and founder of KSP Indosurya Henry Surya, were not a criminal realm, but a civil matter. In fact, the demands from the prosecutors can charge the Indosurya boss a prison sentence for 20 years and a fine of Rp200 billion subsidiary one year in prison. Mahfud also said that the government would appeal to the decision of the Supreme Court which sentenced the defendant to fraud and embezzlement of KSP Indosurya.
