The Attorney General's Office announced on Friday its latest
reshuffle, which will move state prosecutors who used to handle
high-profile cases to top posts at provincial level.
The rotation, involving 40 prosecutors currently stationed at
the office and regional offices, was signed by Attorney General
M.A. Rahman on Thursday and will take effect on Feb. 1.
Muchtar Arifin, the general prosecutor in a corruption case
involving former president Soeharto, will head the West Nusa
Tenggara Prosecutors' Office.
Muchtar is currently director of prosecutions to the deputy
attorney general for special crimes. In his new position, he will
also serve as the prosecutor in financial cases.
His will be replaced by Untung Udji Santoso, currently an
expert member of staff at the Attorney General's Office.
Martinus Manoi, an expert in the office who was often assigned
to teams investigating the Bank Bali scandal and the misuse of
trillions of rupiah of bank liquidity support, was named the head
of South Sulawesi Prosecutors' Office.
Prosecutor I Putu Kusa, currently director for economic and
financial cases to the deputy attorney general for intelligence
affairs, will be installed as head of Lampung Prosecutor's
Office.
The reshuffle also affects the current spokesman and two of
his predecessors.
Office spokesman Muljohardjo is promoted to the Jakarta
Prosecutors' Office, replacing Basrief Arief, who is serving
concurrently as deputy attorney general for intelligence affairs.
Muljohardjo, one of the two highest-ranking personnel in the
reshuffle, was head of South Sulawesi Prosecutors' Office before
moving to Jakarta as spokesman and head of legal extension last
year. His post will be filled by expert member of staff Barman
Zahir, a former spokesman.
The head of South Kalimantan Prosecutors' Office, Yushar
Yahya, also a former spokesman, will make a comeback to Jakarta
as the director for preprosecution to the deputy attorney general
for general crimes.
