PRESIDENT Prabowo has granted rehabilitation to Ira Puspadewi, President Director of ASDP, along with two of her colleagues. The decision is widely seen as a step forward, perhaps even a turning point in the era of arbitrary designations of suspects. For too long, law-enforcement authorities have worn blinders, misapplied anti-corruption statutes and misunderstood the very nature of “state loss.”
Ira Puspadewi is not the only professional turned into a convict. Many share her fate yet remain behind bars.
