  • Former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah was officially detained on Friday, July 24, 2026.
  • The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has placed him in detention at the KPK's Merah Putih detention center.
  • Adriansyah claims his detention is a decision from his superiors and that he is being criminalized.

Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), has been formally detained, marking a significant development in a case that has drawn considerable attention. The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) confirmed his detention on Friday, July 24, 2026, placing him in custody at the Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) Merah Putih detention facility.

Adriansyah, however, has publicly stated his belief that his detention is not a consequence of his own actions but rather a directive from his superiors. He asserts that he is being subjected to criminalization, suggesting a potential internal conflict or political maneuvering within the justice system.

The detention raises questions about the internal workings of the Attorney General's office and the circumstances leading to the arrest of such a high-ranking official. The Kejagung's decision to detain Adriansyah, and his subsequent claims of being targeted, point to a complex situation with potential implications for the institution's integrity and public trust.
