Attorney General's Office reveals reason for detaining Serdang Bedagai District Prosecutor

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Attorney General’s Office has revealed the reasons why the Prosecutor’s Office Intelligence Team detained the Head of the Serdang Bedagai District Attorney’s Office in North Sumatra, Amriyata.

The Head of the Legal Information Centre of the Attorney General’s Office, Anang Supriatna, stated in Jakarta on Tuesday that Amriyata is suspected of committing violations in the performance of his duties. However, he did not provide specific details regarding the nature of these violations.

“Following follow-up action by the intelligence team, there is strong suspicion of violations, unprocedural conduct, non-compliance, and unprofessionalism in handling work. There is also a conflict of interest,” he said.

He added that Amriyata is currently undergoing further investigation by the Attorney General’s Office Intelligence Team. “If the results of the investigation indicate ethical violations, the matter will be referred to the Supervisory Division. If there is a criminal process involved, it will be referred to the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus),” he stated.

Amriyata is a career prosecutor who recently assumed the role of District Attorney of Serdang Bedagai. He was officially inaugurated by the Head of the North Sumatra High Prosecutor’s Office, Harli Siregar, on 5 November 2025 at the North Sumatra High Prosecutor’s Office Hall.

In this position, Amriyata replaced Rufina Ginting, who received a promotion to Assistant of Development at the Bangka Belitung High Prosecutor’s Office. Prior to being entrusted to lead the Serdang Bedagai District Attorney’s Office, Amriyata served as the District Attorney of Lingga within the jurisdiction of the Riau Islands High Prosecutor’s Office. Amriyata’s career as a prosecutor has largely been spent across various regional prosecutor units before eventually being appointed to a district head position.
