Initially, there were conflicting reports about Febrie's status, with some suggesting he had been downgraded to a witness in a new investigation order. However, the AGO's Head of Legal Information Center, Anang Supriatna, confirmed that Febrie remains a suspect. This decision is based on the prior suspect designation by the police investigators. The AGO has issued three new investigation orders to proceed with the case, stemming from the police's investigation files.

Based on the investigation order from Kortas Polri investigators, for one case, namely related to money laundering and Asabri.

Currently, Febrie is specifically designated as a suspect in the corruption and money laundering case concerning PT Asabri. Investigations into alleged corruption at Krakatau Steel and the procurement of coal for power plants are still in the witness stage and have not yet resulted in suspect designations for Febrie in those matters.

No (tampering with evidence), we are confident.

— Anang SupriatnaResponding to concerns about Febrie Adriansyah potentially tampering with evidence.

Responding to public concerns about Febrie not being detained despite being a suspect, Anang expressed confidence that Febrie would not tamper with evidence or obstruct the investigation. He assured that Febrie is cooperating and remains in Indonesia, with immigration having placed a travel ban on him. The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) has also stated its readiness to assist the authorities in the investigation.

Because first, he is here. He is here, right? Anytime, he can just be summoned for examination, just wait. I am sure he is still in Indonesia.
