Suspect Don Ritto Remains in Police Custody as Case Files Prepared for Transfer

Don Ritto, a suspect in three cases involving alleged corruption and money laundering, is currently being held at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters. His transfer to the Attorney General's Office is pending as investigators finalize the case files.

Kombes Budi Hermanto, Head of Public Relations for the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, confirmed that the handover of Ritto, along with the case documents and evidence, is scheduled to occur in stages this week. This follows the joint investigation by the National Police's Special Crimes Directorate and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police.

Ritto, identified as a private individual, was named a suspect alongside Febrie Adriansyah, the former Deputy Attorney General for Specific Crimes. The investigation involved interviewing 15 witnesses and two experts, along with searches of several locations. Ritto is accused of money laundering stemming from corruption offenses and faces charges under the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes Law and the Criminal Code.

Adriansyah is implicated in alleged corruption and money laundering related to the handling of legal cases, including those involving PT Asabri and other corruption offenses. Both suspects are subject to pretrial detention, with Ritto having been in custody since July 10, 2026. The transfer of these cases to the Attorney General's Office is reportedly a collaborative effort between the National Police and the Attorney General's Office.
