By the end of June 2019, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) carried out a sting operation in several places including the Jakarta High Prosecutors’ Office (Kejati Jakarta) and arrested several people including prosecutors. The KPK named three suspects in the case but decided to “return” two prosecutors detained during the operation to their institution, stating that the prosecutors were involved in a different case. Both the KPK and the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) refused to explain further and continue examining witnesses. The examinations conducted after that finally revealed the main case, which started the whole mess. And we recently found out that the other case which brought chaos into the AGO was uncovered because the KPK had accidentally tapped into a bribery plan in another case that occurred in Semarang.
