Former Indonesian prosecutor Febrie Adriansyah named suspect in money laundering case

Indonesia's Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has officially named Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), as a suspect in a money laundering case. The designation came after Adriansyah underwent a roughly 10-hour intensive examination at the Kejagung headquarters in Jakarta.

Rudi Margono, Coordinator of Investigation Team 9 and Junior Attorney General for Supervision (Jamwas), stated that the alleged money laundering activities took place while Adriansyah was serving as a prosecutor or a structural official within the Kejagung. Margono described the modus operandi as typical for state officials engaging in money laundering during their tenure.

Margono declined to provide specific details about the money laundering methods, citing that such disclosures could jeopardize the investigators' proof strategy. He emphasized that the investigation team would continue to update the public on the case's progress and uphold the principle of presumption of innocence throughout the process.

The suspect designation follows the issuance of a new investigation order by the Kejagung, dated July 20, 2026. This order was issued after the Kejagung received case files and evidence from the Indonesian National Police (Polri). The seized evidence includes 74 kilograms of gold and foreign currency valued at hundreds of billions of rupiah. The Kejagung had previously issued three other investigation orders in coordination with Polri for other cases, including alleged corruption and money laundering related to PT KNI, coal governance at a power plant, and the PT Asabri case.
