The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has decided to press ahead with its investigation into its own former top prosecutor despite growing calls for the case to be handled by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) instead amid concerns over potential conflicts of interest.

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has decided to press ahead with its corruption investigation into its own former top prosecutor despite growing calls for the case to be handled by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), amid concerns over a potential conflict of interest.The move came after the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipidkor) on Saturday identified former assistant attorney general for special crimes Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect in alleged graft and money-laundering cases and announced that it would hand over the cases to the AGO. Febri resigned from his post earlier that day.
