Deponeering postponed: AGO

Mariel Grazella, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sat, 01/22/2011 8:56 AM | National

The Attorney General's Office has not yet signed the formal letter on the decision to halt the legal process on Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) deputies.

The AGO had announced that it had decided to halt the legal process on deputies Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M. Hamzah for the public good.

The legal process is known as deponeering.
According to Attorney General Basrief Arief, the AGO received the draft of the letter by noon yesterday.

However, there are certain parts of the letter, such as the wording of sentences, that must be "perfected", he said.

"I'll probably sign it on Monday," he added.

The presence of the draft at the AGO, he said, meant that the House of  Representatives had supported the AGO's deponeering decision.

The KPK duties have been accused by a corruption convict of abuse of power and extortion.
