Former Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) spokesperson Febri Diansyah has taken on the role of legal counsel for Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), in a case involving alleged corruption and money laundering.

“

This is the first examination process I am accompanying. The power of attorney is dated yesterday.

Diansyah confirmed his representation after Adriansyah underwent his first examination as a suspect at the Attorney General's Office in Jakarta on Friday. "This is the first examination process I am accompanying. The power of attorney is dated yesterday," Diansyah told reporters at the Attorney General's Office building.

Diansyah stated that his client hopes the legal proceedings will be fair and that investigators can clearly distinguish the facts. "It also needs to be clarified as clearly as possible what the actual charges are and the predicate crime for the money laundering indications," he added.

Before Diansyah, prominent lawyer Hotman Paris had briefly served as Adriansyah's lawyer. However, Paris announced his withdrawal just days after taking on the case, citing health issues and a barrage of criticism. "I have told him that because of my health condition, which could worsen, I have informed him [Febrie] that I am withdrawing as his lawyer in the case as a suspect at the Attorney General's Office. That's the main point," Paris explained while seated in a wheelchair, mentioning he had received pain medication before announcing his resignation.
