Indonesian prosecutors have asserted full control over the investigation into three corruption cases involving Febrie Adriansyah, the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes. The Attorney General's Office (AGO) confirmed that investigation orders (sprindik) have been issued, transferring all pro-justitia actions related to these cases to the prosecutor's investigators.
These cases were initially handled by the Indonesian National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor Polri) and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police's Special Criminal Investigation Directorate. However, the AGO took over the investigations on July 11, 2026. On July 13, 2026, prosecutors issued three new investigation orders, formally consolidating the cases under the AGO's purview.
The three cases pertain to alleged corruption and money laundering at PT Krakatau Steel, corruption related to a blackout at a State Electricity Company (PLN) power plant, and a corruption case involving PT Asuransi Sosial Angkatan Bersenjata. Previously, the police had named Febrie Adriansyah and a private individual, Don Ritto, as suspects in these matters. Following the transfer of the investigation to the AGO, both individuals are now considered witnesses.
The AGO is currently awaiting the handover of evidence from the police, which has been occurring in stages. On Wednesday, July 15, 2026, police reportedly handed over substantial evidence, including one large suitcase, three medium containers, and three photo frames. A special team of nine prosecutors, many with prior experience at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), has been formed to handle these cases.
Since the sprindik was issued, all pro-justitia activities and actions have shifted to the investigators of the Prosecutor's Office.
