Indonesian Police Transfer Corruption Case Evidence, Including Gold and Foreign Currency

Indonesian police are preparing to hand over all evidence related to the alleged corruption and money laundering case against former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, to the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung). The transfer follows the official handover of the case to Kejagung on Saturday, July 11.

Kombes Ahmad Yusuf, Head of Operations for the Corruption Crime Directorate at the National Police, stated that the evidence and investigation files will be progressively transferred to Kejagung for further action. This process is a normal procedure governed by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the National Police, Kejagung, and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which also supervises the case.

Yusuf assured the public that the handling of the case will be transparent and professional, encouraging public input and oversight throughout the process. "No need to worry. The case handling process will be professional and transparent, God willing," he added.

The evidence seized during searches at various locations is substantial. These include 74 kg of gold bars, US$4,767,300, S$14,083,800, and Rp100,000,000 from a house in Sentul, Bogor. Another location in Cipete, South Jakarta, yielded Rp4,462,365,000, along with various foreign currencies including US dollars, Saudi riyals, Singapore dollars, Thai baht, and others. A cafe in Cipete also yielded significant amounts of Singapore dollars, US dollars, and Indonesian Rupiah, while a house in Cilandak contained Rp520,000,000 and US$133,000.

Previously, the National Police's Directorate for Corruption Crimes officially transferred three cases of alleged corruption and money laundering to the Attorney General's Office. These transfers followed the designation of two suspects: Don Ritto, a private individual, and Febrie Adriansyah. Irjen Totok Suharyanto, Head of the Directorate for Corruption Crimes, emphasized that the case transfer is a result of synergy between the National Police and the Attorney General's Office. During the investigation, 15 witnesses and two experts were questioned, and searches were conducted at multiple locations. Don Ritto is suspected of money laundering derived from corruption, while Febrie Adriansyah is allegedly involved in corruption and money laundering.
