Indonesia's Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) is set to re-examine former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, on Friday, July 24, 2026. The investigation centers on allegations of money laundering, stemming from the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah at his private residence in Sentul City, Bogor.
Kejagung issued a new investigation order for the money laundering case on Monday, July 20, 2026, which reportedly involves Febrie. According to the Head of the Information and Legal Center at Kejagung, Anang Supriatna, the investigation also concerns the source of the aforementioned evidence. Four witnesses, identified as FA (Febrie Adriansyah), DR, NH, and TS, were initially summoned for examination on Wednesday, July 22, 2026. However, Febrie Adriansyah and NH failed to appear; Febrie cited health reasons, while NH was marked absent without explanation.
Febrie Adriansyah had previously been declared a suspect by a joint police investigation team in a bribery case related to the corruption of PT ASABRI. The police investigation also named Don Ritto as a suspect in the same case. Separately, investigations by the Polda Metro Jaya and Kortas Tipidkor Polri are also looking into alleged corruption by Febrie and Don Ritto concerning a coal-fired power plant and Krakatau Steel. While Febrie has acknowledged ownership of the Sentul City house, he denies owning the substantial amount of cash and gold found there. Don Ritto's lawyer claims the money belongs to a national entrepreneur for a port development project in East Kalimantan.
