Indonesian Deputy AG Reportedly Resigns Amidst Police Raids and Seizures

The Indonesian Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, has reportedly resigned from his post following a series of police raids on various locations starting Wednesday, July 8, 2026. The situation at the Attorney General's Office intensified after a joint team from the National Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipidkor) and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police conducted searches at least 12 locations in Jakarta, Bogor, and South Tangerang. These searches are part of an investigation into alleged corruption, bribery, and money laundering. One of the targeted locations was a cafe in Cipete, reportedly linked to Febrie Adriansyah. Investigators also searched a house in Sentul, Bogor, which Adriansyah later confirmed as his property. During the searches, police confiscated cash, documents, electronic devices, and precious metals, with total seizures amounting to half a trillion rupiah, including 74 kilograms of gold bars. Adding to the tension, dozens of Indonesian Army (TNI) personnel were seen guarding another of Adriansyah's residences in South Jakarta. The TNI explained this security measure was based on a presidential regulation concerning the protection of prosecutors. Meanwhile, the police maintained that the investigation would proceed according to law. Reports also emerged of TNI personnel heading to the Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters, allegedly to forcibly retrieve a civilian witness held by investigators, though the TNI later denied deploying such troops. The Jakarta Metropolitan Police stated that 15 witnesses have been interviewed, including property tycoon Tan Kian, who was previously involved in the Asabri mega-corruption case handled by the Attorney General's Office. In response to the reported presence of TNI troops, the police deployed Brimob (Mobile Brigade Corps) forces to bolster security at the headquarters, ostensibly to safeguard the evidence seized from the searches. On Friday, the issue of Adriansyah's resignation gained traction. He initially denied stepping down, stating he was still receiving orders and would continue to investigate a corruption case involving an active police general, while also refuting allegations of his business ties.
