The Attorney General's Office (AGO) and the National Police sought to project unity amid speculation over strained relations sparked by overlapping high-profile corruption cases, though observers warn the apparent thaw could come at the expense of Indonesia's anticorruption efforts.Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin welcomed National Police chief Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo to the AGO headquarters in Jakarta on Monday, where they pledged to strengthen cooperation between their institutions and dismissed suggestions of a rift.
"I and the National Police chief are not rivals or at odds with each other," Burhanuddin said after the meeting, describing Listyo as a longtime friend during a livestreamed press briefing.
"There is no problem between our two institutions," Listyo added.
