The Attorney General terminated five corruption cases during the year 2012 on the basis that prosecution of the case was not possible. Cases are terminated when it is determined that there is insufficient evidence.
“Since we cant let [the cases] hang, termination steps were taken. Prosecution is also a step that can be taken. This is ruled in Article 140 of the Criminal Procedure Code,” explained Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Andhi Nirwanto, in the year-end report presentation at the main office of the Attorney General on Wednesday (26/12).
The Deputy explained that these terminations were “in accordance to Article 109 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which states three reasons for termination: insufficient evidence, not a criminal offence, or voided by law.”
The terminated corruption cases are distortion of ticket prices in the Department of Foreign Affairs for the 2006 – 2009 budget, terminated on 15 February 2012 because of lack of evidence; cases of grafts in a project implementation in Aceh, terminated on 7 March 2012 due to lacking evidence.
Furthermore, corruption in the Corporation Administration System was terminated on 30 May 2012 because of a Supreme Court decision that released two defendants in this case, and lack of evidence; transfer of land rights owned by Bogor’s regional government to an individual, terminated on 10 December 2012, because of lack of evidence and the case had expired.
Lastly, abuse of operational permits for Harbour Bay, terminated on 10 December 2012 because further investigation decided that it was not a criminal offence.
“So, four cases were terminated because of lack of evidence, and the Harbour Bay case was terminated because it wasn’t a criminal offence,” stated Setia Untung Arimuladi, Head of the Attorney General’s Legal Information Centre, in a press conference on Thursday (27/12).
The Attorney General’s performance in prosecuting corruption is a major concern, said Emerson Yuntho of the International Corruption Watch, when interviewed by Hukumonline (27/12).
“We don’t see any major achievements,” he said.
