Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration has not yet imposed an overseas travel ban on Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus). Immigration Director General Hendarsam Marantoko stated that no request for such a ban has been received from law enforcement agencies.
"As of now, we have not received a request for a travel ban for the person concerned from the prosecutor's office as the investigator," Hendarsam said on Sunday, July 12, 2026. The corruption cases involving Adriansyah are currently being handled by the Attorney General's Office. Previously, the National Police had named him a suspect and transferred the investigation into alleged corruption at PT Asabri, PT Krakatau Steel, and coal supply corruption that led to power outages in Sumatra.
As of now, we have not received a request for a travel ban for the person concerned from the prosecutor's office as the investigator.
In addition to Adriansyah, a lawyer named Don Ritto has also been named a suspect and is currently detained at the Metro Jaya Regional Police detention center. Acting Jampidsus Rudi Margono indicated that Adriansyah would be examined promptly after the case transfer. "It's just about to start, yes," Margono stated following a press conference announcing Adriansyah's suspect status on Saturday, July 11, 2026. He mentioned that they are awaiting the handover of evidence and investigation results previously conducted by the police.
During the investigation, police confiscated dozens of kilograms of gold bars and approximately Rp 540 billion in cash, in both Indonesian Rupiah and foreign currencies. A significant seizure occurred at a house in Sentul, Bogor, where investigators found 74 kilograms of gold bars and cash equivalent to about Rp 476 billion. Earlier, investigators seized SGD 3,130,000 and US$ 889,965 from a safe at Cafe de'Clan Signature in South Jakarta, along with Rp 7.2 billion in various foreign currencies from Koin Money Changer.
It's just about to start, yes.
