  • Indonesian authorities have transferred three corruption cases to the Attorney General's Office.
  • The cases involve alleged corruption and money laundering at PT Asabri, PT Krakatau Steel, and PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara.
  • Significant evidence, including cash, gold, and foreign currency, was handed over.

Indonesia's anti-corruption task force and the special criminal investigation directorate of the Metro Jaya Regional Police have officially transferred the handling of three major corruption cases to the Attorney General's Office. The handover includes suspects, electronic evidence, and non-electronic evidence.

"Today, the process continues with the handover of suspects, electronic evidence, and non-electronic evidence to the Attorney General's Office," stated the Deputy Chief of the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps, Brigadier General Boro Windu, at the Attorney General's Office building on Friday, July 17, 2026.

The three cases under scrutiny are alleged corruption and money laundering within PT Asuransi Sosial Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia (PT Asabri) for the period 2020-2024. Two suspects have been named: former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, and lawyer Don Ritto. They face charges related to corruption and money laundering.

Additionally, the Attorney General's Office will now handle a case concerning the settlement of debt from PT CBS to PT KNI, a subsidiary of the state-owned enterprise PT Krakatau Steel, covering the period 2023-2025. This case is still in the general investigation phase, with no suspects yet named. Another case involves alleged corruption and money laundering in the procurement of coal supply for power plants owned by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) between 2018 and 2026, also in the investigation phase without named suspects.

The evidence transferred to the Attorney General's Office is substantial, including Rp 6.059 billion in cash, 74 gold bars weighing approximately 74.01 kilograms, US$6.3 million in cash, and Sin$16 million. A special team of senior prosecutors will handle these cases, and new investigation orders have been issued.

Today, the process continues with the handover of suspects, electronic evidence, and non-electronic evidence to the Attorney General's Office.
