Former Indonesian Junior Attorney General Named Suspect in Corruption Case

Indonesian police have officially designated Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), as a suspect in a corruption investigation. The announcement was made by the Head of the National Police's Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kakortas Tipidkor), Inspector General Pol. Totok Suharyanto, during a joint press conference with the House of Representatives and the current Jampidsus in Jakarta.

“

We have conducted a case review. Based on the case review, we have named two suspects, Mr. DR who is suspected of committing money laundering, which is suspected to originate from corruption.

Adriansyah is reportedly implicated in three cases involving alleged corruption and money laundering. Alongside Adriansyah, a private individual identified as DR has also been named a suspect. Police stated that the designations followed searches of multiple locations, the examination of 15 witnesses, and consultations with two experts. Totok Suharyanto detailed that DR is suspected of money laundering originating from corruption, while Adriansyah faces charges related to corruption and money laundering in cases involving state officials and potentially the PT Asabri corruption case, among others.

“

Then we have also named Mr. FA, in the case of alleged corruption and money laundering, in the handling of cases by civil servants or state officials in the PT Asabri case, and or other corruption crimes, as referred to in Article 12d, 12B of the Corruption Crime Law, and Articles 3, 4 of the Money Laundering Law or what is now Article 607 paragraph 1a and b of the Criminal Code.

During the press conference, the current Jampidsus, Rudi Margono, who has taken over as acting Jampidsus following Adriansyah's resignation, confirmed that the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) will formally receive the case files. Margono emphasized the synergy between the police and the Attorney General's Office to expedite the resolution of these cases, assuring that coordination would continue even after the handover to ensure a definitive outcome.

“

We will formally receive the handover of the handling of three cases, today, as a form of commitment to accelerate professionalism and synergy in handling because the facts are that the public is waiting for the resolution of the cases.
