Indonesian Anti-Graft Body Confident in Attorney General's Office Handling of Corruption Case

Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has expressed confidence in the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) to professionally handle the corruption case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah. The case, initially rumored to be transferred to KPK, has been delegated to Kejagung.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the commission trusts the professionalism of both the National Police and the Attorney General's Office in managing the case. He emphasized that both institutions uphold transparency and encouraged the public to closely follow the case's progress.

"KPK believes in the professionalism of case handling at the National Police and the Attorney General's Office," Budi told Republika. He added, "Both the National Police and the Attorney General's Office are always open in handling cases, so the public can continue to follow the developments."

The National Police have named Febrie Adriansyah and businessman Don Ritto as suspects in a corruption and money laundering investigation. The probe is linked to the procurement of coal for companies including Asabri, Jiwasraya, and Krakatau Steel. Police have questioned 15 witnesses and seized Rp 541 billion in cash and 74 kilograms of gold bars during searches in Jakarta and Bogor.
