Indonesian prosecutors have issued a new investigation order targeting alleged money laundering by former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah. The order specifically addresses the discovery of a significant amount of gold and foreign currency at Adriansyah's residence.

The Attorney General's Office has studied the case, resulting in the issuance of a new investigation order specifically for money laundering with Print Order Number 03/F.2/Fd.2/07/2026 dated July 20, 2026.

The new probe, dated July 20, 2026, is focused solely on money laundering charges, according to Anang Supriatna, Head of the Legal Information Center at the Attorney General's Office. This follows previous investigation orders related to corruption and money laundering allegations concerning PT Krakatau Steel, coal mining at a power plant, and PT Asabri.

Adriansyah has already been named a suspect in the PT Asabri corruption case. The charges against him include violations of anti-corruption and money laundering laws. A private individual, Don Ritto, has also been named a suspect in connection with the money laundering charges.

Regarding the house in Sentul, it is indeed the private home of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes and has been for a long time. This can be seen from the process of ownership from the beginning.

โ€” Febrie AdriansyahAdmitting the house in Sentul was his private residence during a press conference.

Previously, Adriansyah acknowledged that the house in Sentul, Bogor, where the gold and currency were found, was his private residence. He stated that all assets found there were accounted for and could be legally justified, though he indicated such explanations would follow proper legal procedures rather than public statements.

We are all confident that everything can be properly accounted for, but of course not through a forum like this, but through an event that follows legal procedures.
