Three alleged corruption cases previously handled by the National Police’s Anti-Corruption Task Force (Kortas Tipikor Polri) and the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police have been transferred to the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung). The handover was carried out to expedite the resolution of the cases while strengthening synergy between law enforcement agencies.

“This afternoon we will formally receive the handover of three cases, as a form of our commitment to acceleration, professionalism and joint synergy,” said Acting Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Plt Jampidsus) Rudi Margono at a press conference at the Attorney General’s Office building on Saturday (11/7/2026).

According to him, the public is paying close attention to the resolution of these cases. For this reason, accelerating their handling has become a primary focus.

“Because the fact is that the public is waiting for the resolution of these cases, as conveyed by the Chair of Commission III,” he said.

“What is being synergised, what matters most is acceleration. First, to develop and maximise the evidence. Then, the physical exhibits, and most importantly, synergy,” he continued.

He said that although the handling of the cases has been transferred to the prosecutors’ office, coordination with the National Police Anti-Corruption Task Force will continue.

“Today, even though the cases have been handed over to the Special Prosecutors, we will continue to coordinate with the Chief of the Anti-Corruption Task Force and their staff to ensure certainty in resolving them,” he said.

“Certainly, we as investigators, as Jampidsus, will ensure the existing evidence and exhibits, and the causality of what is alleged. More importantly, we continue to uphold the principle of presumption of innocence,” he added.

At the same event, the Chief of the Anti-Corruption Task Force, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, said the transfer of the three cases forms part of the synergy between the National Police and the Attorney General’s Office in handling corruption offences.

“We have agreed with the Attorney General’s Office that the police handling, the investigation of the three cases, has been transferred to the Attorney General’s Office in the interest of the synergy described by the Acting Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes,” he said.

He said that before the handover, police investigators had examined 15 witnesses and two experts. In addition, investigators had also conducted searches at several locations as part of the investigation process.

“In the handling process carried out by the police, we have examined 15 witnesses and two experts, including conducting several searches at various locations, which colleagues have been monitoring and aware of from the start,” he said.

Presidential attention

Head of Public Relations for the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto, reiterated that the handling of these three corruption cases follows directions from President Prabowo Subianto. The National Police are committed to supporting the President’s national priorities in strengthening corruption eradication.

“We are here to convey the investigation process into alleged corruption offences, bribery, gratification and/or money laundering,” Budi said.

He said the handling of these cases aligns with the seventh Asta Cita on the government’s agenda, namely strengthening political, legal and bureaucratic reform, as well as strengthening the prevention and eradication of corruption.

“The eradication of corruption offences is the attention of the President of the Republic of Indonesia under the seventh Asta Cita priority programme, namely to strengthen political, legal and bureaucratic reform, and to strengthen the prevention and eradication of corruption,” he said.

He said the National Police are also part of the state apparatus carrying out national priorities. He said the cases were handled through a joint investigation between the Corruption Offences Directorate (Dittipikor) of the National Police Criminal Investigation Department and a combined team from the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police.
