Former Junior Attorney General Febrie Adriansyah named corruption suspect

Indonesian authorities have declared Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), a suspect in a corruption investigation. A private individual, identified only by the initials DR, faces the same charges. The announcement was made during a press conference at the Attorney General's Office in Jakarta.

Habiburokhman, head of the House of Representatives' Legal Affairs Commission, confirmed that FA refers to Febrie Adriansyah. However, the National Police have transferred the investigation of three corruption cases involving Adriansyah to the Attorney General's Office, citing synergy. The cases reportedly concern alleged corruption at PT Asabri, PT Krakatau Steel, and a coal supply issue that led to power outages in Sumatra.

We have conducted an examination of the case and named two suspects, namely Mr. DR and Mr. FA.

Despite being named a suspect, Adriansyah has not yet been detained, while DR has been in custody since the previous day. Police reported searching Adriansyah's home in Sentul, Bogor Regency, where they discovered a hidden safe behind a wooden wall. Inside, investigators seized 74 kilograms of gold and approximately 476 billion Indonesian rupiah (around $476 million) in cash. Searches were also conducted at various other locations, including cafes, offices, and residences across Jakarta and its surrounding areas.

Investigators have reportedly questioned 15 witnesses and two experts as part of the ongoing probe. The extensive searches and seizures suggest a significant scale to the alleged corruption network being investigated.

This transfer is in the interest of synergy.
