Febrie Adriansyah dodges resignation rumors three times

Febrie Adriansyah, the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes in Indonesia, faced persistent questions regarding rumors of his resignation during a press conference on Friday, July 10, 2026. However, he consistently deflected direct answers, stating instead that he was still receiving instructions from his superiors.

"This morning, I was still receiving orders to immediately complete the documentation for handling cases," Adriansyah told reporters at the Attorney General's Office in South Jakarta. He emphasized that these instructions involved prioritizing cases with limited detention periods and those of significant public interest, which needed to be processed and brought to trial swiftly.

Journalists also pressed Adriansyah on allegations linking him to the de'Clan Cafe in Cipete and a search of his home in Sentul, Bogor. He asserted that the Attorney General's Office respects the law enforcement process conducted by the police and denied any connection to the Cipete business. He also addressed the discovery of money at his Sentul residence, though he did not directly respond to questions about his potential resignation.

During the nearly 20-minute conference, Adriansyah also commented on a corruption case related to coal procurement, which has been linked to power outages in Sumatra. He stated that investigators need to uncover the case first and suggested a thorough audit of needs, quality, payment transactions, and procurement procedures if the case involves coal for power plants. Despite numerous inquiries about his resignation, his alleged ties to the cafe, and other matters, Adriansyah did not issue a clear confirmation or denial regarding the resignation rumors.
