Indonesian former top prosecutor detained at KPK for bribery and money laundering charges

Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), has been detained at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) detention center. The Attorney General's Office (AGO) confirmed his detention on Friday night, July 24, 2026, after he was interrogated by special investigators throughout the day.

Adriansyah was declared a suspect in a case involving the acceptance of bribes and gratuities in connection with the handling of the PT ASABRI corruption case. The AGO has decided to place him in the KPK's detention facilities, with one official stating that Adriansyah had previously rendered significant service in major cases and required protection.

This detention follows multiple investigation orders issued by the AGO concerning Adriansyah. These include orders related to the handling of the PLTU Batubara corruption case, the ASABRI corruption case, and the Krakatau Steel corruption case. A new investigation order specifically for alleged money laundering (TPPU) was issued on July 20, 2026.

Investigators reportedly found a substantial amount of evidence at Adriansyah's private residence, including hundreds of billions of rupiah in cash and 74 kilograms of gold bars. He had previously been summoned as a witness on July 22, 2026, in connection with the TPPU cluster of cases. Adriansyah was officially named a suspect on July 11, 2026, by the Corruption Crime Task Force (Kortas Tipidkor) and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police.
