Indonesia’s Attorney General, ST Burhanuddin, has proposed consolidating the roles of the Special Crimes and General Crimes divisions within the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung). The plan involves merging these two functions into a new entity called the Deputy Attorney General for Operations (JAM Operasi). This restructuring aims to streamline criminal prosecution processes. Currently, Pidsus handles complex cases like corruption and financial crimes, while Pidum focuses on general criminal offenses. Details regarding the implementation and potential impact of this merger are still emerging. The proposal signals a potential significant shift in how Indonesia’s top prosecutor’s office operates and prioritizes criminal justice efforts. No timeline for the change has been announced.
