Jakarta – The Attorney General's Office (AGO) will impose a one-year demotion on Sultan Bagindo Fahmi, a prosecutor in the illegal logging case built against logging boss Adelin Lis, who was acquitted of all charges by the Medan District Court last November.

"A leadership meeting of the Attorney General's Office has decided to punish (Fahmi) with the administration sanction," Junior Attorney General for Supervision M.S. Rahardjo told detik.com.

Fahmi is now director for economic and monetary crimes at the Office of Junior Attorney General for Intelligence. He was assistant for special crimes to the head of the North Sumatra Provincial Prosecutor's Office when the case against Adelin was built.

Besides Fahmi, Rahardjo said, the AGO will also impose a one-year demotion on Teuku Zakaria, the former head of North Sumatra's Provincial Prosecutor's Office, and Zakaria's deputy Muchtar Hassan, who will have his current salary reduced to his previous one.
