JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – More and more pressures flowing to the newly Attorney General Muhammad Prasetyo. He is urged to investigate the so-called “fat” bank accounts cases implicating several local leaders.
Emerson Yuntho from the Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW) said ICW urged Attorney General to bring the cases into court within next one to three months. “If he failed (to bring the cases into court), then he should resign,” Emerson said, as quoted by Kompas.com.
As reported earlier, the Anti-Money Laundering Agency PPATK has submitted its report to the Attorney General Office (AGO) and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). PPATK, in said report, found suspicious amount of transactions involving billions of rupiah in bank accounts of 10 local leaders.
According to AGO’s Spokesperson Tony Tribagus Spontana, ten local leaders mentioned in PPATK’s report are one governor, two former governors, and five regents and former regents.
AGO itself is now investigating Governor of Southeast Sulawesi Nur Alam, also key leader from the National Mandate Party (PAN). AGO is also investigating former Regent of Klungkung (Bali) I Wayan Candra, a politician from PDI-P.
KPK, meanwhile, is targeting former Governor of Jakarta Fauzi Bowo, who is also key leader of former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s Democratic Party. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
