Febrie Adriansyah answered about 50 questions during questioning by Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office as a suspect in an alleged money-laundering case linked to corruption.
His lawyer, Febri Diansyah, said Febrie cooperated fully and answered the investigators’ questions as thoroughly as possible. He added that Febrie remained willing to return for further questioning, either as a witness or as a suspect, and would continue to respect the legal process.
Attorney General’s Office spokesperson Anang Supriatna said investigators from the office’s Team 9 questioned seven people on Thursday. Febrie appeared as a suspect, while private-sector figure Nurman Herin was questioned as a witness for him. Investigators were following up on earlier witness interviews, data and evidence gathered before questioning the two men.
Mr. FA was very cooperative and answered all the questions, explaining what the investigators asked. Mr. FA answered about 50 questions as thoroughly as possible.
Prosecutors have named Febrie and Nurman as suspects in the alleged money-laundering case, whose underlying offense is corruption. The investigation is based on an order issued on July 20, 2026, after the Attorney General’s Office received case files and evidence transferred by police, including 74 kilograms of gold and foreign currency worth hundreds of billions of rupiah.
The office has also issued three other investigation orders after receiving cases from police. They concern alleged corruption and money laundering at PT KNI, alleged corruption in coal management at a power plant linked to suspected electricity blackouts, and alleged corruption and money laundering in the handling of the PT Asabri case. Police previously named Febrie a suspect in the alleged corruption and money-laundering case involving PT Asabri, while Don Ritto was named a money-laundering suspect.
The questioning was conducted separately. It mainly followed up on the results of earlier witness examinations, as well as data and evidence obtained before the person concerned was questioned.
