  • Indonesia's Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) issued a new investigation order for money laundering related to gold and cash found at a former official's home.
  • The new order aims to simplify the investigation process and facilitate the development of the case.
  • This follows previous investigations into corruption and money laundering involving the former official and other cases.

Indonesia's Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has issued a new investigation order to probe alleged money laundering activities linked to the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at the residence of Febrie Adriansyah, a former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes.

The new order is to ensure that the evidence seized during the searches by the anti-corruption task force and the regional police will be considered, leading to the issuance of the TPPU investigation order.

— Rudi MargonoThe Junior Attorney General for Supervision (Jamwas) explained the rationale behind issuing a new investigation order for money laundering.

Kejagung stated that the new order, specifically for money laundering (TPPU), will streamline the investigation process. "The new order is to ensure that the evidence seized during the searches by the anti-corruption task force and the regional police will be considered, leading to the issuance of the TPPU investigation order," said Jamwas Rudi Margono. He added that it would make it easier for investigators to pursue legal processes and develop the case if new evidence emerges.

With this case, we will synergize the evidence so that the case becomes clear, and the investigators at the prosecutor's office will have more freedom to develop it, hence the issuance of the TPPU investigation order. It's possible that these suspicions, if found in the future, perhaps during searches, can be used.

— Rudi MargonoRudi Margono further elaborated on how the new order would facilitate the investigation and potential future findings.

Previously, Kejagung had already issued three new investigation orders related to corruption and money laundering cases involving Febrie. These orders were issued to follow up on cases transferred from the police. The related cases include alleged corruption and TPPU concerning PT Krakatau Steel, coal procurement for PLN power plants, and the ASABRI case. In the PT Asabri corruption case, two suspects have been named: Don Ritto, a private sector individual, and Febrie Adriansyah.

The Attorney General's Office has studied the case, resulting in the issuance of a new investigation order specifically for TPPU with Number Print-03/F.2/Fd.2/07/2026 dated July 20, 2026.
