Questionable Recall
The recall of Prosecutor Yudi Kristiana from his secondment at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is yet another evidence that something is not quite right with the Attorney-General's Office (AGO). Yudi was tasked by the KPK with investigating the bribery case involving North Sumatra Governor Gatot Pujo Nugroho. He also headed the interrogation of Evy Susanti, Gatot's wife, who allegedly had bribed the NasDem Party Secretary-General Patrice Rio Capella.
NasDem, the political party led by media tycoon Surya Paloh, was the main supporter of Muhammad Prasetyo as the attorney-general in the cabinet of President Joko Widodo. This connection merits scrutiny as a factor in the recall of Prosecutor Yudi, particularly since the AGO has provided no good reason to recall him from the KPK.
