Kuntadi Nominated for New Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Role

The Attorney General's Office has put forward Kuntadi, the current head of its Asset Recovery Body, to fill the vacant Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) role. The nomination, sent to President Prabowo Subianto, was confirmed by Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi on Wednesday, January 15, 2026.

Kuntadi is no stranger to the Jampidsus unit, which handles special criminal acts like corruption. Before leading the Asset Recovery Body, he served as Director of Investigation within Jampidsus from 2022 to 2024. During his tenure as director, he oversaw significant corruption cases, including those related to crude palm oil exports and the 4G BTS project at the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, which implicated former minister Johnny G. Plate. He also handled a tin commodity trading corruption case involving PT Timah Tbk.

His career has seen various high-profile appointments, including Head of the High Prosecutor's Offices in Lampung and East Java. Most recently, on November 27, 2025, he was appointed Head of the Asset Recovery Body. Under his leadership, the body reported significant success in auctioning seized assets, generating Rp 997 billion in May alone.

Kuntadi's personal wealth has seen considerable fluctuations. His reported assets were Rp 415 million in 2014, rising to Rp 3.2 billion in 2019. After a dip to Rp 494 million in 2020, his wealth surged again to Rp 3.1 billion during his time as Director of Investigation. His latest financial report in 2025 shows a total wealth of Rp 4.8 billion, with Rp 1.2 billion in debt. His assets primarily consist of land and buildings worth Rp 4.2 billion, along with a motorcycle, a car, other movable assets, and cash.
