Minister Yusril: KPK can intervene in ex-Jampidsus case

Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, and Immigration, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, is closely observing the transfer of corruption cases involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah. The cases, initially handled by the National Police, have now been handed over to the Attorney General's Office.

Yusril stressed that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) possesses the legal authority to supervise these investigations. He stated, "The KPK has the authority to conduct supervision in accordance with the law. In addition, public oversight is also very important so that the entire process proceeds according to the principles of the rule of law." This oversight is crucial to address public doubts that may arise when former subordinates of Adriansyah will be involved in the investigation.

The Minister urged for the case to be handled with utmost care, professionalism, and transparency. He believes this process will be a significant test for the Attorney General's Office, challenging its integrity and authority as a law enforcement institution. Yusril also encouraged broad public and media scrutiny, stating that the government fully supports such oversight to ensure clean and just law enforcement.

"The government opens the widest possible space for the media, the DPR, the public, anti-corruption activists, and legal experts to observe and criticize the investigation and prosecution process," Yusril added. He insisted that the case must be resolved strictly according to applicable laws, leaving no room for ambiguity or external influence, thereby upholding objective justice.
