        "summary": "A member of Indonesia's House of Representatives has urged law enforcement to ensure equal treatment for former prosecutor Febrie Adriansyah, a suspect in a money laundering case. The lawmaker argued that the failure to use handcuffs or a detainee vest, despite being legally non-mandatory, has created a public perception of injustice. He stressed that the case must demonstrate that everyone is equal before the law, especially given the suspect's former high-ranking position.",
        "content": "<p>A member of the House of Representatives Commission III, Abdullah,\nhas reminded law enforcement officials not to give different treatment\nto Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect in an alleged money laundering (TPPU)\ncase. According to Abdullah, the appearance of Febrie as a suspect\nwithout wearing a detainee vest or handcuffs\u2014although not a legal\nrequirement for detention\u2014has created a perception of injustice and hurt\nthe public\u2019s sense of fairness. \u2018Considering this case has drawn\nsignificant public attention and involves a former high-ranking state\nofficial, the legal process should also demonstrate that everyone is\ntreated equally before the law,\u2019 Abdullah said in Jakarta on Saturday.\nHe understands that legally, the validity of a detention is determined\nby the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), particularly\nthe fulfilment of objective and subjective requirements as stipulated in\nArticle 21 of the KUHAP, and not by the use of a detainee vest or\nhandcuffs. Furthermore, he assessed that the Attorney General\u2019s Office\u2019s\nexplanation, citing a rush as the reason Febrie was not made to wear a\ndetainee vest, has not fully answered public questions. Precisely\nbecause Febrie is a former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes,\nAbdullah believes the law enforcement process must truly prove that\nthere is no differential treatment for anyone. \u2018When the public sees a\ndifference in treatment between a former law enforcement official and\nother suspects, the room for a perception of special treatment becomes\neven greater. This perception must be answered with consistent action,\nnot just administrative explanations,\u2019 he said. He added that the policy\nof placing Febrie in a Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) detention\ncentre is a proper step to maintain the independence of the\ninvestigation while avoiding potential conflicts of interest. \u2018The\nplacement of Febrie\u2019s detention in the KPK detention centre can be seen\nas an effort to maintain independence and avoid conflicts of interest.\nThis step deserves appreciation and must be followed by the same\ncommitment throughout the entire law enforcement process,\u2019 he said.\nPreviously, the Attorney General\u2019s Office revealed that the reason\nFebrie Adriansyah was not made to wear a detainee vest after being named\na suspect in the alleged money laundering case was due to time\nconstraints. The Coordinator of Team 9, who is also the Junior Attorney\nGeneral for Supervision, Rudi Margono, said they were in a hurry, so\nthey did not have time to put the pink vest on Febrie. \u2018Regarding the\nvest, we apologise. It was because we were in a hurry and it was already\nlate at night,\u2019 Rudi Margono said at the Attorney General\u2019s Office main\nbuilding in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>",
