**Interview with Attorney General’s Office Spokesperson about the Zarof Ricar Case**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today. Can you provide us with the latest updates on the arrest of Zarof Ricar?
**Spokesperson:** Thank you for having me. Yes, last week, we arrested Zarof Ricar, who was previously the Head of the Research and Development Agency at the Supreme Court. He has been named a suspect in a bribery conspiracy related to a case involving Gregorius Ronald Tannur.
**Interviewer:** What led investigators to arrest him, and what evidence do you have?
**Spokesperson:** Our investigations revealed a long-standing pattern of behavior—Ricar has allegedly been involved in facilitating cases for personal benefit since 2012. During the search of his properties in Bali, we found significant assets, including cash in multiple currencies totaling over IDR 920 billion, as well as 51 kilograms of gold.
**Interviewer:** That’s a substantial amount of money. Can you break down what was found during the search?
**Spokesperson:** Certainly. In his possession, we discovered cash totaling IDR 5.7 billion, along with amounts in Singapore Dollars, US Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, and Euros. The gold was also recovered from his properties, specifically from Antam, which further indicates the scale of his alleged illicit activities.
**Interviewer:** How does the Attorney General’s Office plan to proceed with the case moving forward?
**Spokesperson:** We are currently conducting further investigations to gather additional evidence and corroborate the claims against him. Our goal is to ensure accountability not only for Ricar but also for anyone else who may be involved in this corrupt network.
**Interviewer:** There have been reports about a connection to the Supreme Court itself. What is the response from the Supreme Court regarding this situation?
**Spokesperson:** The Supreme Court has acknowledged the allegations and is cooperating with our investigation. They are conducting their own internal review to address any potential systemic issues that may have allowed these actions to occur.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights. We appreciate your time and look forward to further updates on this important case.
**Spokesperson:** Thank you, and we will keep the public informed as more information becomes available.

**Spokesperson:** Certainly. The total cash amount found included IDR 5.7 billion, Singapore dollars, US dollars, Euros, and Hong Kong dollars—all adding up to that staggering total. This amount is alarmingly disproportionate to the assets he declared to the State Officials’ Wealth Report, which raises serious questions about the legitimacy of his wealth.
**Interviewer:** Understanding the gravity of this case, what actions will the Attorney General’s Office take moving forward?
**Spokesperson:** We will continue our investigation not only into Zarof Ricar’s actions but also into how this bribery conspiracy may have influenced judicial processes. Any individual involved in corrupt practices will be held accountable to ensure justice is served.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights. Is there anything else you’d like to add regarding the implications of this case?
**Spokesperson:** This case underscores our commitment to fighting corruption at all levels of government. It highlights the need for transparency and accountability among public officials. We will keep the public updated as the investigation progresses. Thank you.
