Indonesian Police Yet to Question Businessman in Corruption Probe

Indonesian police have not yet questioned businessman Ferry Yanto Hongkiriwang regarding a corruption case that implicates a former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah.

Kombes. Pol. Victor Dean Mackbon, Director of Special Criminal Investigation at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, confirmed that Hongkiriwang has not been interviewed as a witness in the corruption probe. "We haven't interviewed him as a witness yet," Mackbon stated on Monday, July 13, 2026.

Instead, police have questioned Hongkiriwang in connection with an alleged assault on a member of the Densus 88 counter-terrorism unit, Brigadir Satu FF, which occurred in July 2025. The decision on whether Hongkiriwang will be questioned in the corruption case rests with the Attorney General's Office, as police have handed over that aspect of the investigation.

Ferry Yanto Hongkiriwang, owner of the French restaurant Cafe de'Clan Signature, was linked to the corruption case when his establishment was among several locations searched by investigators. The searches were related to three corruption cases involving Febrie Adriansyah. A previous report indicated Hongkiriwang was allegedly involved in an incident where Brigadir Satu FF was reportedly followed, abducted, and assaulted after Hongkiriwang's lunch meeting at the Borobudur Hotel in Jakarta.
