AGO Confirms Febrie Adriansyah as Suspect in ASABRI Corruption and Money Laundering Case
The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has confirmed that former Head of the Special Crimes Division (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah and Don Ritto hold the status of suspects. Kejagung stated that Febrie is a suspect in a case of alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) related to PT ASABRI.
“Based on the investigation order (sprindik) issued by the Indonesian National Police Anti-Corruption Task Force (Kortas Tipikor Polri), for one case, namely corruption and money laundering in the ASABRI case,” said Anang Supriatna, Head of the Legal Information Centre (Kapuspenkum) at Kejagung, at the Kejagung building in South Jakarta on Friday (17 July 2026).
Anang said Febrie had been named a suspect in the alleged corruption and money laundering at ASABRI covering 2020–2024. Meanwhile, Don Ritto had been named a suspect for alleged money laundering.
Anang said the investigation into alleged corruption related to Krakatau Steel and PLN was still ongoing. He said the police investigation remained general in nature.
“For both cases, it is still a general investigation by the National Police investigators,” Anang said.
Febrie was scheduled to undergo questioning today. Kejagung said detention was within the authority of the investigators.
“Regarding the stance on detention, it will depend on the authority of the investigators. What is clear is that we will strive to conduct the investigation professionally, transparently and accountably,” Anang said.
The Director of Special Crimes Investigation at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Police Commissioner Victor Dean Macbon, said the status of Febrie and Don Ritto in two other cases remained that of witnesses. He said the investigations were still ongoing.
“The status of FA and DR in the KNI and PLN cases is witnesses,” he said.
The Deputy Head of the National Police Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortas Tipikor), Brigadier General Boro Windu, explained that all case files, evidence and suspects had been handed over to Kejagung. This means the investigation into the case has fully transferred to the Adhyaksa Corps, as the Attorney General’s Office is known.
“With the completion of this handover, the subsequent investigation process becomes entirely the authority of the Attorney General’s Office. The National Police Anti-Corruption Task Force respects and supports the continuation of this law enforcement process,” Boro said at a press conference at Kejagung.
He explained that police investigators had today handed over the suspects as well as electronic and non-electronic evidence in Febrie’s case to Kejagung. He invited the public to place their trust in Kejagung whilst also monitoring its handling of the case.
“The National Police Anti-Corruption Task Force respects and supports the continuation of the law enforcement process to be carried out by the Attorney General’s Office in accordance with the applicable legal mechanisms,” he said.
