Indonesian Police Accountable for Naming Ex-Deputy AG Febrie Adriansyah Suspect

Indonesian police assert their legal accountability for designating former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect in a corruption investigation. Despite not having previously questioned Febrie, police spokesperson Komisaris Besar Budi Hermanto stated that the decision was based on the investigators' conviction and the existence of sufficient evidence.

Budi emphasized that Febrie's suspect status remains valid even though the subsequent investigation will be handled by the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung). A joint police investigation team from Polda Metro Jaya and Kortas Tipidkor completed the handover of all case documents, tools, and evidence to Kejagung on Friday, July 17, 2026. This evidence pertains to corruption cases involving coal supply for power plants, Asabri, and Krakatau Steel.

The seized assets include approximately Rp 67.2 billion in local and foreign currency from searches at the de’Clan restaurant and Koin Money Changer, along with an additional Rp 467 billion and 74 kilograms of gold bars. The police also handed over another suspect, Don Ritto (DR), to the Jampidsus investigators. With this handover, the Attorney General's Office now has full authority over the ongoing investigation into the corruption charges against Febrie Adriansyah.
