AGO Denies Rumours Former Jampidsus Went on Umrah After Being Named Suspect

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has denied rumours that the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), identified by the initials FA, performed umrah 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 was already placed under a travel ban by the original investigators,” said the Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre (Kapuspenkum), Anang Supriatna, at the Main Building of the Attorney General’s Office in Jakarta on Monday.

Anang confirmed that FA is still in Indonesia and under the surveillance of investigators.

“What is clear is that the person concerned is still in Indonesia, has not left the country, is cooperative, and is under investigator surveillance,” he said.

A post on social media claimed that FA had flown to the Holy Land after resigning and being named a suspect. The alleged departure was said to have occurred before FA was barred by immigration.

Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Affairs has already implemented an overseas travel ban preventing FA from leaving the country.

In addition, the Directorate General of Immigration also imposed a travel ban on DR, or Don Ritto, another corruption suspect named alongside FA.

The ban was implemented based on a request from the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metropolitan Police of Greater Jakarta (Polda Metro Jaya) through letter Number B/12730/VII/RES.3.3/2026/Ditreskrimsus dated 11 July 2026.

The overseas travel bans on FA and DR are valid for 20 days in accordance with applicable regulations.

Previously, on Saturday (11 July), the National Police (Polri) named FA and DR as suspects in three alleged corruption and money laundering cases.

The naming of the suspects followed a joint investigation by the Police Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortastipidkor) together with Polda Metro Jaya into three cases: alleged corruption in coal governance, alleged corruption at PT Asabri and PT Jiwasraya during the 2020-2025 period, and alleged money laundering in the settlement of PT CBS’s debts to PT KNI.
