The deponering of criminal cases is one of the Attorney General powers to not prosecute. Deponering is the implementation of the opportunity principle given by law to the Attorney General as a public prosecutor to deponering cases for public interest. The opportunity principle allows the public prosecutor not to prosecute an alleged criminal act with public interest as background because it is feared that by prosecuting it will cause more harm than not suing. This research wants to see whether the deponering of cases in the public interest based on the opportunity principle; what are the limitations in the public interest for the deponering of criminal cases (seponering); and what are the juridical consequences of deponering the case.
