President Prabowo Subianto has appointed senior prosecutor Kuntadi as the new assistant attorney general for special crimes, replacing Febrie Ardriansyah, who was named a suspect in a corruption case that has put the country’s law enforcement institutions under intense scrutiny.State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi announced the appointment on Wednesday, saying Prabowo had signed a presidential decree naming Kuntadi to lead the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) special crimes division, one of its most prominent units tasked with investigating and prosecuting major corruption cases and other white-collar crimes.

“We will complete the administrative process today and send the decree to the AGO,” Prasetyo said, adding that Kuntadi would assume his new role anytime soon.

Kuntadi, who currently heads the AGO’s Asset Recovery Agency, was the sole nominee proposed by Attorney General ST Burhanuddin to replace Febrie in a letter submitted to the President last week.
