  • A special team of nine prosecutors has been formed to investigate the case involving Febrie Adriansyah, the former head of the special crimes unit.
  • The investigation aims to maintain objectivity, as Adriansyah previously held the position he is now being investigated for.
  • The team will look into three cases: alleged corruption and money laundering at PT Krakatau Steel, corruption in a PLN power plant blackout, and corruption at PT Asabri.

A special team of nine prosecutors has been appointed to investigate the case of Febrie Adriansyah, the former head of the special crimes unit (Jampidsus) at the Attorney General's Office. The decision to assign a dedicated team, rather than having the Jampidsus office handle it, is intended to ensure the objectivity of the investigation, according to Leo Anang Supriatna, Head of the Legal Information Center at the Attorney General's Office.

Adriansyah resigned from his position as Jampidsus on July 11, 2026. The newly formed team comprises senior prosecutors, many of whom have prior experience working at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The team's mandate includes investigating three specific cases: alleged corruption and money laundering at PT Krakatau Steel, corruption related to a blackout at a PLN power plant, and a corruption case involving PT Asabri.

Following the issuance of new investigation orders (sprindik) for these three cases, both Febrie Adriansyah and Don Ritto, who had previously been named suspects by the police, are now considered witnesses. The nine-member team includes Agus Salim (Inspector of Finance II, Supervisory Board), Muhibuddin (Head of the High Prosecutor's Office of North Sumatra), Chatarina Muliana Girsang (Head of the Asset Recovery Center), Riono (Inspector of Finance I, Supervisory Board), Agus Sahat (Secretary of the General Crimes Unit), Irene Putri (Director of Legal Considerations, State Administrative Law Unit), Rinaldi Umar (Deputy Head of the Banten High Prosecutor's Office), Zet Tadong Allo (Director of Prosecution, Military Crimes Unit), and Hari Wibowo (Director A, General Crimes Unit).

The Attorney General's Office has issued new investigation orders for three cases: alleged corruption and money laundering at PT Krakatau Steel, corruption in a PLN power plant blackout, and corruption at PT Asabri. These investigations are crucial for maintaining public trust in the justice system and ensuring accountability for alleged financial crimes.
