Amriyata, the head of the Serdang Bedagai District Attorney's Office, has reportedly been arrested by the Attorney General's Office Intelligence Team. Sources indicate the arrest stems from allegations that Amriyata misused his authority to solicit money.

A prosecutor familiar with the operation stated that Amriyata allegedly demanded money by leveraging his position. Another prosecutor within the Attorney General's Office confirmed the arrest, which reportedly took place two days before the news broke. The alleged modus operandi involved demanding 'security money' for specific projects or activities, with transactions reportedly conducted in cash.

Amriyata was appointed as the head of the Serdang Bedagai District Attorney's Office on November 20, 2025. Recent activity noted on the office's social media shows Amriyata participating in a virtual National Prosecutor's Office Development Meeting on June 3, 2026.

Tempo has attempted to obtain confirmation from Mochamad Jeffry, the Acting Head of the Attorney General's Office's Legal Information Center, but he has not yet responded to inquiries. The investigation into these allegations is ongoing.
