Attorney-General Prasetyo emerged carrying a copy of a three-week-old Tempo, bearing a picture of Surya Paloh on its cover. "I'm being persecuted," he said before throwing the magazine on the desk. Prasetyo burst out in frustration over the corruption case of North Sumatra social welfare funds and grants, in which he has been implicated. The case was Tempo's cover story that week.

He also felt all this was part of a conspiracy to unseat him from the AGO. Along with Maruli Hutagalung, who was at the time director of investigations, Prasetyo allegedly received money from people his own AGO had charged with misusing the social welfare funds.
