Indonesian Lawmakers to Oversee Corruption Probe of Former Deputy Attorney General

Indonesia's House of Representatives has established a supervisory working group to monitor the legal proceedings against former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah. The group will directly oversee the investigation into three corruption cases that implicate Adriansyah.

We will directly monitor the search processes.

Habiburokhman, Chairman of Commission III of the House, stated that the working group will "directly monitor the search processes." He added that they will also participate in examining places and evidence related to the corruption cases. "We will ensure all our activities are open so that the public can follow them," Habiburokhman said.

The involvement of the legislative body is deemed crucial to prevent any potential misconduct or fraud during the investigation. Habiburokhman cautioned against any exchange of money or substitution of evidence, stating, "So that there is no slander. Don't let money be exchanged. Don't let the gold bars be exchanged for chocolate inside."

The cases involve allegations of corruption in PT Asabri, PT Krakatau Steel, and a coal supply issue that led to power outages in Sumatra. Police have named Febrie Adriansyah and a private sector individual, Don Ritto, as suspects. While Ritto is in detention, Adriansyah has not yet been detained.
