Indonesia's top anti-graft prosecutor resigns after police seize millions in cash and gold

Indonesia's top anti-corruption prosecutor, Febrie Adriansyah, resigned Saturday following police raids that uncovered millions of dollars in cash and gold bars at properties linked to him. The Attorney General's Office confirmed his resignation had been accepted.

Anang Supriatna, spokesman for the Attorney General's Office, stated that Adriansyah's decision was "a form of commitment to maintain the integrity, objectivity, and neutrality of law enforcement." The raids, conducted Friday, targeted at least 12 locations, including Adriansyah's home and other properties in and around Jakarta.

Police spokesman Budi Hermanto reported that the seized assets included 74 kilograms of gold bars and approximately US$5.8 million and S$17.2 million in cash. Adriansyah, however, told reporters that the assets from his private residence were accounted for and not linked to graft. Police have questioned 15 witnesses and expect to announce suspects soon, though charges have not yet been filed.

The investigation involves suspected corruption and money laundering in coal procurement for the state utility company PLN, as well as a graft scandal related to President Prabowo Subianto's free meal program. Adriansyah had previously stated that the Attorney General's Office remained focused on these cases.
