News Official statement Under investigation
  • Indonesia's former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, failed to appear for questioning in a money laundering probe.
  • Adriansyah cited health reasons for his absence, while another individual, NH, did not attend without explanation.
  • The investigation involves multiple institutions, including the KPK and Indonesian National Police.

Febrie Adriansyah, Indonesia's former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, did not attend a scheduled examination on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, related to an alleged money laundering case. The Attorney General's Office confirmed that Adriansyah, identified as FA, did not fulfill the summons due to health reasons. Another individual summoned, NH, also failed to appear without providing notification.

A special team had summoned four individuals to be questioned as witnesses in the case, including Adriansyah. Two others, identified as DR and TS, were also called, along with a money laundering expert. The examination process reportedly included representatives from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Attorney Commission Team, the Indonesian National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps, and the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), described as a move to ensure transparency and inter-institutional synergy.

Adriansyah has been previously implicated in three separate cases investigated by the KPK and the Metro Jaya Regional Police. These include allegations of corruption and money laundering in the PT Asabri case, alleged corruption at PT Krakatau Steel, and corruption in coal governance for PLN's power plants. While he was a suspect in the PT Asabri case, he remained a witness in the other two. The Attorney General's Office has since taken over the investigations into these three cases.

This development follows recent protests outside the Attorney General's Office concerning the Febrie Adriansyah case. Demonstrators called for his arrest, particularly regarding the PT Asabri corruption case and the seizure of assets valued at Rp476 billion. The Forest Area Enforcement Task Force also faced scrutiny amid the surfacing of the Adriansyah case.

Two people did not fulfill the summons, namely FA with health reasons and NH did not attend without notification.

โ€” Anang SupriatnaHead of the Attorney General's Office Legal Information Center confirmed the absences.
