Former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, has appointed prominent lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea to represent him. Adriansyah is currently a suspect in a corruption and money laundering case being investigated by the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung). Hutapea confirmed on Friday that he received the official power of attorney that morning. He visited the Kejagung building in South Jakarta to begin his legal defense for Adriansyah. Hutapea stated he would provide further comments after communicating directly with his client. He arrived at the building around 10:00 AM WIB and reportedly used a special entrance to the basement parking area, typically reserved for high-ranking officials, including Adriansyah himself during his tenure. Notably, Hutapea has previously been on opposing sides of cases involving the Special Crimes division when Adriansyah was in charge, including representing Nadiem Makarim in a laptop corruption case.
