AGO Denies Rumours Former Jampidsus Went on Umrah After Being Named Suspect
The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has denied rumours suggesting that a former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) with the initials FA performed the umrah pilgrimage after being named a suspect in an alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) case. “That is not true. How could he go on umrah? He has been prevented from travelling by the initial investigators as well,” said Head of the AGO Legal Information Centre (Kapuspenkum) Anang Supriatna at the AGO Main Building in Jakarta on Monday. Anang confirmed that FA is still in Indonesia and under the investigators’ supervision. “What is clear is that the person concerned is still in Indonesia, has not gone abroad, is cooperative, and is under the investigators’ supervision,” he stated. The denial follows a social media post claiming that FA flew to the Holy Land after resigning and being named a suspect, allegedly before immigration authorities imposed a travel ban. Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections has implemented a travel ban against FA. The directorate general has also imposed a travel ban on DR, also known as Don Ritto, another corruption suspect named alongside FA. The prevention measure was carried out based on a request from the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Regional Police via letter Number B/12730/VII/RES.3.3/2026/Ditreskrimsus dated 11 July 2026. The overseas travel ban for FA and DR is valid for 20 days in accordance with applicable regulations. Previously, on Saturday (11/7), the Indonesian National Police named FA and DR as suspects in three cases of alleged corruption and money laundering. The suspect designation was made after the Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) and Metro Jaya Regional Police conducted a joint investigation into three cases: alleged corruption in coal governance, alleged corruption at PT Asabri and PT Jiwasraya for the 2020–2025 period, and alleged money laundering in the settlement of PT CBS’s debt to PT KNI.
