In the case under investigation, ASN subordinates must accept and be convicted of committing a criminal act of participating as referred to in Article 55 of the Criminal Code.

Therefore it is very important for ASNs to know and understand the steps, and what legal or non-legal remedies can be taken by subordinate ASNs to avoid criminal proceedings and the impact of criminal acts that they will experience.

When an ASN feels or can predict that the order of their superior has the potential to become a corruption law problem, the ASN should have the courage to refuse the order of their superior so that the ASN is not burdened with responsibility for dealing with criminal corruption that has occurred. It is better for ASN to conduct legal consultations with competent parties before carrying out orders from superiors that have the potential to become criminal law problems for corruption.
