The Attorney General’s Office and the National Police will follow President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s request that they drop criminal investigations into suspended Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) deputy chiefs Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M. Hamzah, an official says.
Presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said Wednesday the AGO and the police would in the coming few days take a decision in accordance with the President’s wishes that the case be settled out of the court.
“I think the police and state prosecutors are responsive enough and have taken quick moves to halt the investigations. Hopefully in the next few days they will announce definite actions,” Julian said.
He said it would take the two law enforcement agencies a few days to fulfill the President’s advice he extended during a televised speech to respond to his fact-finding team’s recommendations which went in favor of the KPK leaders.
”The President’s message is clear and I think the prosecutors and police know precisely what the President wants,” Julian said.
While state prosecutors are considering suspension of the investigations into the KPK leaders, the National Police has said its investigators will continue the probe and hand over the case to the prosecutors.
