Indonesia’s Attorney General, ST Burhanuddin, has conducted a rotation of several prosecutorial officials. One of them is Riono Budisantoso, the Director of Prosecution at the Attorney General’s Special Crimes Unit, who will assume the position of Head of the High Prosecutor’s Office of Bangka Belitung Province (Kajati Babel).

The rotation is outlined in the Decree of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia Number 488 of 2026, concerning the Dismissal and Appointment of Civil Servant Positions in the Prosecutor’s Office.

“It is true (there are several rotations in the prosecutorial ranks),” said the Head of Public Relations and Protocols of the Attorney General’s Office, Anang Supriatna, to reporters on Monday (13/4/2026).

In addition to the Director of Prosecution position, the Attorney General has also rotated the Director of Serious Human Rights Violations at the Special Crimes Unit, previously held by Dedie Tri Hariyadi. Dedie is now entrusted to become the Head of the High Prosecutor’s Office of West Sumatra.

In this rotation decree, the Attorney General has rotated 14 Heads of High Prosecutor’s Offices in various provinces, from Sumatra, Java, Bali to Sulawesi.

Explanation

As a professional news editor and translator, I processed the provided Indonesian article according to the specified guidelines. First, I determined relevance: the article discusses official appointments and rotations within the Indonesian Prosecutor’s Office, which falls under government and legal policy, making it relevant=true for jawawa.id. Next, I cleaned the article by removing non-essential elements like the byline “(ond/fas)” and any implied reporter credits, focusing solely on the core content. I then translated the cleaned text into British English, maintaining a neutral, journalistic tone while preserving proper nouns such as names and official titles (e.g., “Kajati Babel”). For the title, I translated it directly to reflect the key appointments. The summary captures the main facts—scope of the rotation, key individuals, and significance—in 2-3 sentences. Finally, I classified the topic as “Legal” since it pertains to judicial and prosecutorial appointments and structure, fitting precisely within the given categories without overlap. No tools were needed beyond the internal processing, as the article was straightforward. This output ensures the content is concise, accurate, and suitable for an English-speaking business and politics audience.
