Police to test gold bar purity at former Deputy AG's home

Investigators will conduct laboratory tests on gold bars discovered at the residence of Febrie Adriansyah, the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus). The gold was found stored in a safe during a search related to three alleged corruption cases implicating Adriansyah.

Will be subjected to laboratory testing by Pegadaian.

According to Kombes Budi Hermanto, Head of Public Relations for the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, the tests will be performed by Pegadaian, a state-owned pawnshop company. Rubica Giovani Malewa, Head of Operational Department at PT Pegadaian's G-Lab, explained that their role is to identify the authenticity of the seized gold, determine its purity (karat), and verify its weight. This laboratory process is expected to take one to two days and will serve as a basis for further investigation.

“

We will then determine its qualifications, namely its purity and weight.

Investigators found 74 one-kilogram gold bars at Adriansyah's home in Parahyangan Golf 2, Sentul, Bogor Regency. Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, Head of the Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortastipidkor), reported that the gold was inside a locked safe. Upon opening the safe, seven suitcases were found. In addition to the gold bars, investigators also seized a significant amount of cash in various currencies. The combined value of the gold and cash is estimated to be around Rp476 billion.

When opened, it contained seven suitcases.

Febrie Adriansyah has denied that the seized gold bars and cash belong to him. He stated his readiness to explain the origin of the assets, asserting, "Someone else owns it, there are activities, people involved in activities can be asked, yes, there are buildings, they can be checked." The Kortastipidkor team and investigators from the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police have searched 13 locations since July 8, 2026, in connection with the three cases: alleged bribery at PT Asabri, corruption in coal supply allegedly causing power outages in Sumatra, and corruption at PT Krakatau Steel.
