Former Indonesian Deputy AG, Private Citizen Barred From Leaving Country Amid Corruption Probe

Indonesia's immigration authorities have imposed a 20-day travel ban on former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, and a private individual identified as Don Ritto. The ban, effective from July 11, 2026, was issued at the request of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police's Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation.

This measure comes after Adriansyah and Ritto were named suspects in a joint investigation into alleged corruption and money laundering. The National Police's Directorate for Corruption Eradication (Kortastipidkor) has officially handed over the handling of three corruption and money laundering cases to the Attorney General's Office. This handover signifies a collaborative effort between the police and the Attorney General's Office in managing these complex cases.

Immigration has implemented a travel ban for two individuals with the initials FA (civil servant) and DR (private sector).

During the investigation, police questioned 15 witnesses and two experts. Searches were also conducted at several publicly known locations. Following an examination of the case evidence, two suspects were identified: Ritto, accused of money laundering stemming from corruption, and Adriansyah, allegedly involved in corruption and/or money laundering related to the handling of legal processes concerning state officials in the PT Asabri case and other corruption investigations.

Ritto faces charges under Article 4 and/or Article 5 in conjunction with Article 10 of Law No. 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering, or Article 607 (1) (b) and (c) of the Criminal Code. Adriansyah is implicated in corruption and/or money laundering related to legal proceedings involving public officials in the PT Asabri case and other corruption offenses.

We have agreed with the Attorney General's Office that the handling of the investigation into these three cases has been transferred to the Attorney General's Office in order to synergize, as conveyed by the Acting Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes.
