About Soeprapto Prosecutor
- Mr.
- Raden Soeprapto (27 March 1894 – 2 December 1964) was the fourth Attorney General of Indonesia.
- Born in Trenggalek, East Java, Soeprapto studied law in Jakarta, finding work in the legal system soon after graduating in 1920.
- After transferring often, in the early 1940s he had reached Pekalongan and become the head of the court for Native Indonesians.
- Escaping Pekalongan during Operatie Product with the help of a prisoner he had just sentenced, Soeprapto made his way to Yogyakarta and began to work as a prosecutor.
- When the government moved to Jakarta in 1950, Soeprapto went with it.
- In January 1951, he was selected to be Prosecutor General of Indonesia, serving until 1 April 1959. As prosecutor general, Soeprapto was noted for trying state ministers and generals despite them outranking him, a quality which Amir Hasan Ketaren of the Prosecutors' Commission finds lacking from subsequent officeholders.
- He was declared "Father of the Prosecutor's Office" on 22 July 1967, with a bust of him erected outside the Prosecutor General's Office.
