Indonesia's Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Resigns Amid Investigation

Febrie Adriansyah has stepped down from his position as the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) within Indonesia's Attorney General's Office. The office has stated it respects his decision and assured the public that all departmental functions and ongoing investigations will proceed as usual.

Anang Supriatna, Head of the Legal Information Center, explained that Adriansyah's resignation is intended to maintain the integrity, objectivity, and neutrality of law enforcement processes. This move occurs while the Indonesian National Police's Anti-Corruption Task Force is investigating several corruption, money laundering, and bribery cases.

Recent police actions related to these investigations included searches at over a dozen locations across Jakarta, South Tangerang, and Bogor Regency between July 8-9, 2026. During these searches, investigators seized tens of kilograms of gold bars and cash in various currencies, with a total estimated value of around Rp 540 billion (approximately $33 million USD).

The Attorney General's Office respects the decision and ensures that all duties, functions, and case handling within the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes office will continue to run normally according to applicable mechanisms.

The largest seizure reportedly took place at a house in Sentul, Bogor, which Adriansyah later acknowledged as his property. From this location, investigators confiscated 74 kilograms of gold bars and cash amounting to $4,767,300 USD and SGD 14,083,800, valued at approximately Rp 476 billion (around $29 million USD).

Febrie Adriansyah, born in Jakarta on February 19, 1968, began his career as a prosecutor in 1996. He held various significant positions throughout his career, including Head of the Bandung District Court, Special Crimes Assistant at the East Java High Prosecutor's Office, and Deputy Head of the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office. He was appointed as Jampidsus on January 6, 2022, after previously serving as Director of Investigation for Special Crimes.
