Police name former prosecutor Febrie Adriansyah graft suspect

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian National Police has officially named the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah or FA, a suspect in an alleged corruption and money laundering case.

“We have named FA a suspect in the alleged corruption and money laundering case,” Head of the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor), Inspector General Totok Suharyanto announced here on Saturday.

Febrie, identified by his initials FA, was named a suspect alongside a private sector figure identified as DR, widely suspected to be businessman Don Ritto.

DR is accused of laundering the illicit funds derived from the corruption crimes.

The decision follows a formal case review by investigators, who have so far interrogated 15 witnesses and two experts.

According to the police, FA is suspected of violating Article 12 letters i and 12 letter b of the Corruption Eradication Law, Articles 3 and 4 of the Money Laundering Law, and Article 607 paragraph 1 letters a and b of the New Criminal Code.

“He is suspected of committing these offenses while serving as a state official, specifically linked to the PT Asabri case and other corruption crimes,” Inspector General Totok noted.

Meanwhile, his co-suspect DR faces charges under Article 4 or Article 5 in conjunction with Article 10 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning Money Laundering, as well as Article 607 paragraph 1 letters B and C of the New Criminal Code.

In an unexpected development, the National Police announced that the further handling and prosecution of the case has been transferred to the AGO's Special Crimes Unit—the division Febrie led until his resignation on Friday (July 10).

Totok noted that the transfer serves as a mutual agreement to maintain cross-agency synergy.

"We have agreed with the Attorney General's Office to transfer the investigation of these three cases to the AGO for the sake of institutional synergy,” he remarked.

The three interconnected cases under investigation include alleged coal management corruption that triggered power outages, the multi-trillion rupiah graft at state insurers PT Asabri and PT Jiwasraya during the 2020–2025 period, and alleged money laundering in the settlement of PT CBS's debt to PT KNI.

The legal hammer fell on Adriansyah just days after a dramatic raid on his private residence in Sentul, Bogor, unearthed a hidden safe containing 74 kilograms of gold bullion and a mountain of foreign currency—totaling a staggering Rp476 billion (US$29.6 million).
