        "content": "<p>Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and\nCorrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra has said that transferring the case\ninvolving former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie\nAdriansyah to the Attorney General\u2019s Office (AGO) can normatively\naccelerate the law enforcement process. \u201cThere is truth in what the\nAttorney General\u2019s Office has conveyed. From a procedural law\nperspective, case resolution can indeed be faster if the investigation\nis conducted by the AGO,\u201d Yusril said when confirmed in Jakarta on\nMonday. Yusril explained that in corruption cases, the National Police\nhave the authority to conduct inquiries and investigations, while\nprosecution falls under the AGO\u2019s authority. If the investigation is\ncarried out by the police, case files can go back and forth until they\nare declared complete by the public prosecutor. According to him, the\nprocess would be more efficient if the AGO handles both the\ninvestigation and prosecution, as both functions reside within a single\ninstitution. He said the public has reason to question the AGO\u2019s\nindependence because the suspect is a former Deputy Attorney General for\nSpecial Crimes. \u201cThe public will certainly ask whether this might become\na case of \u2018the fox guarding the henhouse\u2019 because the investigators and\npublic prosecutors handling the case were once subordinates of the\nsuspect,\u201d he stated. Therefore, Yusril urged that public doubts be\naddressed through a firm, professional, and transparent legal process.\nHe expressed confidence that the AGO would safeguard the institution\u2019s\nintegrity and ensure that investigators and public prosecutors work\ncarefully, objectively, and in accordance with legal provisions. He\nadded that Indonesia\u2019s legal system has provided oversight mechanisms,\nincluding through the supervisory authority of the Corruption\nEradication Commission (KPK) and public scrutiny of the legal process.\nThe government, he said, supports the involvement of the media, the\nHouse of Representatives, the public, anti-corruption activists, and\nacademics to monitor and critique the investigation and prosecution\nprocess so that the law is enforced objectively. \u201cAs a result, the law\nis truly enforced objectively, without being influenced by extra-legal\nconsiderations,\u201d Yusril said. Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney General for\nSupervision, who is also the Acting Deputy Attorney General for Special\nCrimes, Rudi Margono, emphasised that the AGO would handle the case\nprofessionally while upholding the presumption of innocence. \u201cSynergy to\nensure that the handling of this case is truly professional, upholding\nthe presumption of innocence, so that there is certainty in its\nresolution,\u201d Rudi said during a press conference in Jakarta on Saturday\n(11\/7).<\/p>",
