  • Police placed a cordon around a two-story house in Bogor, Indonesia, as part of an investigation into alleged corruption, bribery, and money laundering.
  • Neighbors and security guards stated the house, located in a wealthy residential area, has been unoccupied by its owner for years, with only a caretaker occasionally present.

A two-story house in the upscale Parahyangan Golf 2 residential area in Bogor, Indonesia, has been cordoned off by police as part of an investigation into alleged corruption, bribery, and money laundering. The property stands in stark contrast to its neighbors, appearing vacant with no vehicles in its spacious driveway and no visible activity within.

Security personnel at the gated community confirmed that the house has been unoccupied by its owner for an extended period. One senior security guard, who spoke on condition of anonymity, identified the owner as Febrie Adriansyah, the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes at the Indonesian Attorney General's Office. However, the guard added that Adriansyah has not visited the property in years, estimating it has been vacant since before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019.

Yes, it belongs to Mr. Febrie. But he hasn't been here for a very long time. For years.

During the police search, which reportedly lasted at least six hours, the house remained silent and unresponsive to attempts to gain attention. The surrounding area is secured by multiple layers of security, with guards at both entrances to the Bukti Golf complex. Despite the police presence and the ongoing investigation, no official statement has been released regarding the owner's alleged involvement or the specifics of the case.

He hasn't been here for years.
