Febrie Adriansyah, former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, has had his legal team deny reports identifying Sutrimo as a household head. Instead, they stated Sutrimo's role was primarily to look after an empty house where he resided.
So the deceased's position was not as a household head as widely reported, but more as a caretaker of an empty house and living there.
Firman Wijaya, a lawyer for Febrie, explained that Sutrimo often returned to his hometown or took on other jobs, meaning he wasn't constantly working for Febrie. "So the deceased's position was not as a household head as widely reported, but more as a caretaker of an empty house and living there," Firman stated.
The family of Febrie Adriansyah has requested that Sutrimo's passing not be associated with current legal proceedings at the Attorney General's Office. They emphasized that Sutrimo had been ill for an extended period. "As far as the family knows, the deceased had been sick for a long time. When he was being treated, it was mentioned he had been sick for years," Firman said.
