The Indonesian Attorney General's Office has established a special nine-member team to investigate the case of former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah. Notably, the majority of this team comprises former prosecutors from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

We see this as positive progress, as the Attorney General's Office has promptly formed a special team that includes former members of the KPK, particularly from the prosecution ranks.

— Budi Prasetyo, KPK SpokespersonThe KPK spokesperson commented on the formation of the special team by the Attorney General's Office to handle the Febrie Adriansyah case.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo welcomed the move, stating, "We see this as positive progress, as the Attorney General's Office has promptly formed a special team that includes former members of the KPK, particularly from the prosecution ranks." He emphasized that the investigators' prior experience at the KPK would be crucial for the ongoing investigation.

The Attorney General's Office explained that the case would not be handled by the existing Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes unit to ensure the investigation's objectivity. The special team includes senior active prosecutors such as Agus Salim, Muhibuddin, Chatarina Muliana Girsang, Riono, Agus Sahat, Irene Putri, Rinaldi Umar, Zet Tadong Allo, and Hari Wibowo, many of whom have held significant positions within the Attorney General's Office and previously at the KPK.

We see how things unfold today and in the future. If there are indeed obstacles, challenges, or hindrances, we can certainly work together to resolve them.

— Budi Prasetyo, KPK SpokespersonThe KPK spokesperson expressed confidence in the ongoing legal process and offered collaboration if challenges arise.

Febrie Adriansyah resigned from his position on July 11, 2026. The police had previously transferred the investigation to the Attorney General's Office, which then issued new investigation orders for three cases allegedly involving Febrie: corruption, money laundering, and bribery related to PT Asabri, PT Krakatau Steel, and coal supply for power outages in Sumatra. Police had conducted searches at 13 locations across Jakarta, Tangerang Selatan, and Bogor in connection with these cases.

The team consists of nine people.
