  • Indonesian authorities have detained Don Ritto, a suspect in a money laundering case.
  • The suspect was handed over by the Jakarta Metropolitan Police along with evidence including cash in rupiah and US dollars, gold, and other assets.
  • The case is linked to three corruption cases, including one involving former Director General of Investigations Febrie Adriansyah.

The Indonesian Attorney General's Office has officially detained Don Ritto, a suspect accused of money laundering. The detention follows the handover of the suspect and evidence from the Jakarta Metropolitan Police's Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation.

Authorities presented a significant amount of evidence, including cash in both Indonesian rupiah and US dollars, gold, and various other assets connected to the investigation. This handover marks the completion of the investigation phase by the Jakarta Metropolitan Police. The next step involves the public prosecutor preparing an indictment to bring the case to trial.

This money laundering case involving Don Ritto is reportedly an extension of investigations into three separate corruption cases. Notably, these investigations also implicate former Director General of Investigations Febrie Adriansyah, adding a layer of complexity and high-profile connection to the ongoing legal proceedings.
