Single Investigator for Corruption Cases

Indonesia is, perhaps, the only country in the world in which the authority to investigate corruption lies in more than one state body, namely the National Police, the prosecutors’ offices and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

Janitors clean the main lobby of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) building in Jakarta on Monday, June 18, 2018.

Indonesia is, perhaps, the only country in the world in which the authority to investigate corruption lies in more than one state body, namely the National Police, the prosecutors’ offices and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

For the general public, the presence of multiple agencies that deal with corruption investigation may look like the government is serious in eradicating the crime. However, for those with a comprehensive understanding of the justice system, this situation leads to legal arbitrariness of the state and the absence of legal protection for citizens.
