Prosecutors question former deputy attorney general as suspect and witness in money laundering probe

Indonesia's Attorney General's Office has summoned former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, for questioning in his dual capacity as both a suspect and a witness in an alleged money laundering case. The investigation also involves another suspect, Nurman Herin, who was questioned similarly.

According to Anang Supriatna, head of the Attorney General's Office Legal Information Center, five individuals were scheduled for questioning, but only three appeared. "The person concerned was questioned in two capacities, both as a suspect and as a witness," Anang stated. Both Febrie and Nurman have been cooperative as investigators examine their alleged involvement in money laundering stemming from an underlying corruption offense.

The person concerned was questioned in two capacities, both as a suspect and as a witness.

The questioning is focused on evidence gathered from previous investigations, including those by the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps and searches conducted by the Attorney General's Office. While investigators have not yet arranged a confrontation between Febrie and Nurman, they continue to examine each suspect's alleged role against the seized evidence. Two individuals who failed to appear will be summoned again as the case progresses.

This money laundering case is reportedly linked to an expanded investigation into alleged corruption connected to the PT Asabri case. Investigators previously seized 74 kilograms of gold and cash from a house in Sentul, Bogor, which another suspect, Don Ritto, claims belong to him. Meanwhile, Febrie Adriansyah's lawyer has questioned the legal basis for his client being named a money laundering suspect, urging investigators to clarify the foundational criminal offense.

The person concerned is currently being questioned and, so far, has been cooperative.
