Bantaeng prosecutor's job to maintain integrity in the midst of threats and intimidation

Jakarta – For a prosecutor, integrity is not just an image, but as a basis for determining the direction of law enforcement. This principle is being held until now by the head of the Bantaeng district attorney’s Andri Zulfikar division. Although the integrity of the prosecutor is not uncommon, Bantaeng district lawyer Satria Abdi judges that Andri carries out his principle based on his religious beliefs that are the most important basis of his professional behavior. “What I noticed is that the integrity he has performed was in line with his religious beliefs, which became the basis of his integrity,” Satria said at Detikcom. Browse to continue the content, Satria revealed that Andri remained firmly and refused gifts that were not his right. It shows that the integrity of Andri is quite good and consistent in daily exercise. “Among other things, I noticed that Andri Zulfikar was not influenced by gifts that were not his right to this day. He would not accept it. Well, I noticed that his integrity was quite good,” he continued. Furthermore, Satria explained that Andri tends to be firm in dealing with cases, one of which is corruption and understanding and is the whole process of handling corruption cases. “The achievement I see is that Andri Zulfikar is the head of the Pidsus of the Attorney General in Bantai to understand and control the handling of corruption cases. From the investigation, investigation into prosecution,” Satria said. Integrity in the midst of the pressure and threat of one of the cases that Andri handled occurred in May 2024 when it revealed the abuse of the budget in the Bantaeng DPRD. It was revealed, three official residences of the non -inhabited DPRD leadership showed that it had a budget for five years. In response to the findings, Andri issued an investigation order and drafted several DPRD leaders as suspects. He then arrested the suspect in the Bantaeng class 2B detention center. “At that time, I thought I could complete this matter. Why? Because I could complete this matter, the interest conflict was very great. At that time with many adult considerations, with the leaders in the region and in the region who already knew, by saying Bismillah, I published an investigation burden related to the DPRD leadership case in 2024, ‘WhatsApp and Indirectly or Targets His safety. Nevertheless, Andri maintains integrity and professionalism in maintaining this matter. “That the threats emerged earlier, both WhatsApp and indirectly for me. I got several threats at the time, whether via WhatsApp or indirectly related to the threat of my life, when intimidation not directly addressed to me, but I felt like it was meant Kajar and Head of Pidsus,” he said. “I came in once a few times my WhatsApp,” I killed you, if you are not, the point is that ‘, Madam,’ he added. Andri thus revealed that integrity and courage must be harmonized by professional abilities. According to him, deep legal knowledge is absolutely essential. Because investigators can lose direction without deep knowledge in dealing with cases. “His ability is related to legal knowledge that must be deep. It can be suggested when an investigator does not investigate his legal knowledge, roughly where we will be brought to the case,” he concluded. Together with the Attorney General, Detikcom presents a special program that reveals the reality of law enforcement and justice in Indonesia. This program not only emphasized the efforts of the prosecutors’ people in completing matters, but also revealed the story of the dedication and social role of inspirational prosecutors. This program is expected to open a public horizon of the importance of the prosecutors’ institution within the framework of development and maintaining the rule of law in the community.
