Soot covers the southern face of the main building at the Attorney General’s Office in South Jakarta on Sunday (27/9/2020). The damage to the southern face of the building was minor compared to the northern face, where the fire first broke out. On the third floor of the building’s southern face was the office of Pinangki Sirna Malasari, a former prosecutor who is now on trial for bribery and in aiding and abetting Bank Bali graft convict Joko Tjandra in evading justice.

The fire protection system at the main building of the Attorney General\'s Office was suspected to be weak. The hydrant in front of the building did not provide water, making it difficult to extinguish the fire.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The main building of the Attorney General\'s Office, which burned down on Aug. 22, was considered to have a weak protection system, particularly in dealing with fires. This was demonstrated by the malfunction of the fire hydrant during the blaze and the absence of documents related to building safety.
