Attorney General's Office Explains Shift in Ex-Prosecutor's Legal Status

The Indonesian Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has officially assumed control of corruption cases previously investigated by the National Police, notably those involving former special crimes prosecutor Febrie Adriansyah. This transition follows Kejagung's issuance of three new investigation orders concerning corruption and money laundering related to the coal-fired power plant (PLTU) case, Asabri, and Krakatau Steel.

These new orders, numbered 43, 44, and 45, signify a fresh start for the investigations. According to Kapuspenkum Kejagung Anang Supriatna, all prosecutorial actions now fall under the jurisdiction of the Kejaksaan Agung. "Since the issuance of the three general investigation orders, all pro justitia activities and actions have transferred to the investigators of the prosecutor's office," Anang stated at the Kejagung complex in Jakarta.

When questioned about Febrie Adriansyah's legal standing, Anang clarified that based on the new orders, both Febrie and another individual named Don are no longer considered suspects. "In our considerations, including the investigation orders from the National Police, yes (they remain witnesses), among them are referred to as individuals in one of the cases," Anang explained.

Anang emphasized that Kejagung has only issued general investigation orders at this stage and has not yet named new suspects. The move effectively shifts Febrie Adriansyah's status from a suspect in the police's investigation to a witness in the Attorney General's Office's renewed inquiries. The future of the police's previous investigation remains uncertain as the Kejagung takes the lead.
