Febrie Adriansyah, a former deputy attorney general for special crimes, is due to appear before investigators in a money-laundering case involving 74 kilograms of gold and 543 billion rupiah in cash.
His lawyer, Febri Diansyah, said Adriansyah would attend questioning at the Attorney General’s Office and cooperate with the Tim 9 investigators. He will appear with legal counsel.
“Mr. FA will attend and cooperate with the legal process accompanied by a lawyer,” Febri Diansyah told reporters. He said the questioning would take place in Adriansyah’s capacity as a witness for other suspects, although the summons did not specify which suspect or suspects.
The Attorney General’s Office has named Adriansyah a suspect in the money-laundering case linked to the gold and cash found at his home in Sentul, Bogor. Private businessman Nurman Herin and lawyer Don Ritto have also been named suspects for allegedly participating in the case with him.
Rudi Margono, head of Tim 9 and deputy attorney general for oversight, said the alleged money laundering took place while Adriansyah worked as a prosecutor or structural official. Adriansyah has filed two pretrial lawsuits at the South Jakarta District Court, but a single judge rejected both.
Mr. FA will attend and cooperate with the legal process accompanied by a lawyer.
