JAKARTA: The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has rearrested Gregorius Ronald Tannur after the Supreme Court overturned his acquittal over the murder of his girlfriend Dini Sera Afriyanti, a high-profile case that observers said shed light on corruption in the judiciary.

A joint team from the East Java and Surabaya prosecutor’s offices arrested Ronald on Sunday (Oct 27) at his residence in Surabaya, East Java, and transported him immediately to the Class I Surabaya Penitentiary in Sidoarjo, according to a statement issued the same day.
