President Prabowo Subianto has reaffirmed his administration's zero-tolerance stance on corruption, as public scrutiny intensified over the Attorney General's Office's (AGO) decision not to detain its former top prosecutor Febrie Adriansyah despite naming him a suspect in a corruption and money laundering case.Speaking from an event to celebrate this year’s second harvest season in East Java on Friday, Prabowo stressed that public officials must act in the public interest.
"We will not tolerate those who have been entrusted by the people and paid by the people, yet implement policies that harm the people. Especially those who steal public money, we will not tolerate it," Prabowo said.
The remarks came as the AGO pressed ahead with its investigation into its former assistant attorney general for special crimes Febrie, despite mounting concerns over whether it could prosecute its own top official fairly and objectively.
