Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra said that the transfer of the case involving former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah to the Attorney General's Office can normatively expedite the law enforcement process.
"There's some truth to what the Attorney General's Office said. From a procedural legal perspective, the case can be resolved more quickly if the investigation is conducted by the Attorney General's Office," Yusril.
Yusril explained that in corruption cases, the National Police has the authority to conduct investigations and inquiries, while prosecution falls under the authority of the Prosecutor's Office. If the investigation is conducted by the Polri, the case file can be submitted back and forth until the prosecutor declares it complete.
