Indonesia's fight against corruption has taken a significant turn with the resignation of Febrie Adriansyah, the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) at the Attorney General's Office (AGO). The AGO has stated it respects his decision and assures that ongoing cases will proceed as planned.

Adriansyah's departure comes as the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor Polri) actively investigates allegations of corruption, money laundering, and bribery. Investigators reportedly searched at least 12 locations across Jakarta, South Tangerang, and Bogor Regency between July 8-9, 2026, as part of their probe.

Authorities plan to question Adriansyah as part of these investigations. Budi Hermanto, Head of Public Relations at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, indicated that the questioning would occur after the current evidence gathering and case review stages are completed. This development highlights the ongoing scrutiny faced by high-ranking officials within the nation's legal and investigative bodies.

In separate news, the compilation also touches upon Kylian Mbappe's remarkable performance at the 2026 World Cup. Despite a missed penalty, the French captain scored a crucial goal and provided an assist in a recent match, adding to his list of broken records during the tournament.

The examination is planned after investigators conclude the inquiry and investigation process.
