Indonesia's Attorney General's Office has formally accepted the resignation of Febrie Adriansyah, the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus). The decision, received by Attorney General ST Burhanuddin on Saturday, July 11, 2026, is framed as a move to uphold the integrity, objectivity, and neutrality of the legal process.

"The Attorney General's Office respects the decision and ensures that all duties, functions, and case handling within the Junior Attorney General's Office for Special Crimes will continue normally according to applicable mechanisms," stated Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) Anang Supriatna. He urged all parties to respect the ongoing legal processes and the presumption of innocence.

Adriansyah's resignation comes amidst a backdrop of investigations by the National Police's Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortastipidkor Polri) into various alleged corruption, money laundering, and bribery cases. While Adriansyah had previously denied reports of his resignation, stating he was still receiving and issuing instructions until Friday, July 10, 2026, his departure now aligns with these sensitive investigations.

Recent police actions include searches of multiple locations in Jakarta, Tangerang Selatan, and Bogor Regency between July 8-9, 2026. During a search in Sentul, Bogor, authorities seized seven suitcases from a safe, containing 74 kilograms of gold and substantial amounts of foreign currency, including US$4,767,300, SGD 14,083,800, and Rp 100 million. These seizures are part of the ongoing probe into alleged illicit financial activities.

The Attorney General's Office respects the decision and ensures that all duties, functions, and case handling within the Junior Attorney General's Office for Special Crimes will continue normally according to applicable mechanisms.
