<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to see the Attorney General's authority in setting aside cases in the public interest. Attorney General has duties and authorities putting aside matters in the public interest. However, the law means that the principle of opportunity is still too narrow. This research uses normative legal research. The results showed that only the Attorney General was authorized to set aside cases in the public interest. Then the public interest is interpreted too narrowly, namely the interests of the state and society. This is the deciding consideration whether or not criminal cases can be set aside, so that in practice it is rarely done, because in Indonesia it is more concerned with developing policies. Article 35 letter c of the Prosecutor's Law in its explanation explains that the intended public interest is the interest of the nation and state and / or the interests of the wider community. Thus, the manifestation of public interest is the interest of the nation and state or the interests of the wider community or the interests of the nation and state as well as the interests of the wider community at once. The instructions that should have shed some light on their roles turn into points of concern for establishing what is in the public interest. The interpretation of the interests of the nation and state or the interests of the wider community as an embodiment of the public interest is left entirely to the Attorney General by sticking to the mandate of the Prosecutor's Law, which must heed the suggestions and opinions of the state power agencies that are related to the matter to be dismissed. With regard to this issue, the granting of deponering must be careful, lest there be any overlap.Keywords: Deponering, Attorney General, Criminal Acts, Indonesia.]]>
