Former Indonesian Attorney General official named corruption suspect

Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, has been officially named a suspect in a corruption investigation, alongside a private individual identified only as DR. The announcement was made by Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, Head of the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps, during a press conference at the Attorney General's Office in Jakarta.

The police have transferred the investigation of three specific corruption cases implicating Adriansyah to the Attorney General's Office. These cases involve alleged corruption at PT Asabri, PT Krakatau Steel, and issues related to coal supply that led to power outages in Sumatra. Suharyanto described the transfer as an act of synergy between the law enforcement bodies.

Despite being named a suspect, Adriansyah has not been detained, while DR has been held at the Polda Metro Jaya detention center since the previous day. Notably, Adriansyah submitted his resignation from his high-ranking position on the same day the suspect status was announced, a coincidence that occurred amidst ongoing investigations into alleged corruption, money laundering, and bribery.

During the investigation, authorities searched at least 12 locations across Jakarta, South Tangerang, and Bogor Regency between July 8-9, 2026. These searches led to the seizure of tens of kilograms of gold bars and cash in various currencies, totaling approximately Rp 540 billion. The largest confiscation occurred at a house in Sentul, Bogor, which Adriansyah later acknowledged as his property. From this residence, investigators seized 74 kilograms of gold bars and foreign currency valued at around Rp 476 billion.
