The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) has confirmed that its personnel are providing security at the residence of the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah. The confirmation comes after reports of TNI personnel being seen guarding Adriansyah's home in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.
Brigadier General Muhammad Nas, Head of the TNI Information Center, stated that the security detail was deployed at the direct request of the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung). He clarified that the TNI's involvement is part of the Task Force for Forest Area Regulation (Satgas PKH) and that the coordination followed established mechanisms and regulations.
Nas specifically referenced Presidential Regulation No. 66 of 2025, which pertains to the protection of prosecutors while they carry out their duties. This regulation provides the legal basis for the TNI's deployment to safeguard Adriansyah, whose residence was reportedly searched by investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police on July 8, 2026.
The presence of military personnel at the home of a high-ranking prosecutor, especially amid reports of a search by law enforcement, has drawn attention. The TNI's statement aims to clarify their role as a protective measure requested by a fellow state institution, emphasizing adherence to regulatory frameworks governing prosecutorial protection.
