The Maluku Immigration Office is bolstering its collaboration with the Maluku High Prosecutor's Office to improve the effectiveness of immigration law enforcement. This partnership specifically targets the supervision of foreign nationals and the management of immigration-related cases within the Maluku region.
Gindo Ginting, head of the Maluku Immigration Office, stated that this synergy is a crucial component in developing an integrated law enforcement system. He highlighted that the duties of both institutions are interconnected, spanning from administrative oversight to the prosecution of immigration-related criminal offenses. "Synergy with the Maluku High Prosecutor's Office is very important for us. There are various aspects of law enforcement that intersect, especially in the supervision of foreigners and the handling of immigration cases," Ginting said.
Immigration authorities are responsible for monitoring the movement of people entering and leaving Indonesia, examining travel documents, issuing residency permits, and taking administrative action or conducting investigations into violations of immigration laws. For criminal immigration cases, the results of investigations by immigration civil servant investigators require coordination with the prosecutor's office, which is empowered to review case files, prosecute, and execute court decisions.

Ginting further explained that this coordination is essential to anticipate potential immigration violations, such as the misuse of residency permits, the presence of foreign nationals in violation of regulations, or other immigration-related criminal acts in Maluku. The Maluku High Prosecutor's Office, through its head Rudi Irmawan, has pledged full support for this strengthened cooperation, emphasizing that solid coordination among law enforcement agencies is fundamental for integrated legal enforcement.
"Solid coordination between law enforcement agencies is a crucial foundation for creating integrated law enforcement that can respond to the dynamics of legal issues in society," Rudi stated. He added that the prosecutor's office, tasked with prosecution and executing court rulings, needs continuous communication with Immigration to expedite case resolution, align understanding of legal application, and enhance the effectiveness of handling cases involving foreign nationals. Through this enhanced coordination, both offices are committed to improving immigration oversight, strengthening case handling, and supporting legal certainty in the region.
