AGO Examines Former Junior Attorney General Febrie in Asabri Money Laundering Case

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) is examining former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, as a suspect today, Friday (17/7). Head of the AGO’s Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, stated that investigators had summoned Febrie, who has since arrived at the Round Building and is currently undergoing questioning. His suspect status is linked to the corruption and money laundering (TPPU) case involving PT Asabri.

Anang explained that the determination of Febrie as a suspect was based on an investigation warrant from the Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps, specifically concerning the money laundering aspect of the Asabri case. Febrie’s lawyer, Hotman Paris, separately confirmed that his client has been under examination by a special investigative team since this morning.

The AGO has issued three new investigation warrants (Sprindik) related to the alleged corruption and money laundering cases implicating Febrie Adriansyah. Anang Supriatna stated that these new warrants were issued to follow up on the transfer of cases from the Police. The three warrants pertain to corruption and money laundering at PT Krakatau Steel, the procurement of coal for a PLN steam power plant (PLTU) that resulted in a blackout, and the Asabri case.

In this case, investigators have named two suspects: private sector individual Don Ritto and former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah. Don Ritto is suspected of committing money laundering derived from corruption. Meanwhile, Febrie is suspected of involvement in corruption and/or money laundering during the legal handling of state officials in the PT Asabri case and other alleged corruption cases. The AGO has also established a special team of nine senior prosecutors, most of whom previously served at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), to handle the case without resistance.
