AGO Examines Seven Witnesses in Money Laundering Case Involving 74 kg of Gold and Billions of Rupiah

The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) examined seven witnesses in the case of money laundering (TPPU) involving 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at the Sentul residence belonging to Febrie Adriansyah.

Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, said the examination was conducted by investigators from Team 9 on Monday (10/8). He explained that 13 witnesses had originally been summoned, but six of them did not attend.

“The investigation team summoned 13 witnesses to provide statements, and seven witnesses attended the summons,” he told reporters.

Anang said that among the seven witnesses examined, one was S from Bank Indonesia (BI).

The remainder were TTS from PT TBI, BH from PT TB, TB as Director of OBP, MM from PT P, RC from PT BBBU, and ACT as a lawyer.

However, Anang did not provide further details on the material that investigators would pursue with the seven witnesses.

He only said the witness examinations were conducted to complete the case files of the suspects and to trace assets suspected to derive from criminal proceeds.

“All investigative actions are carried out based on the applicable procedural law and are part of the investigators’ efforts to obtain evidence and clarify the construction of the case,” he said.

The Attorney General’s Office has named former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, as a suspect in the money laundering case related to the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at the Sentul residence.

Most recently, the Attorney General’s Office also named private parties Nurman Herin (NH) and lawyer Don Ritto (DR) as suspects for their involvement in the money laundering case together with Febrie.

Chairman of Team 9 and Junior Attorney General for Supervisory Crimes, Rudi Margono, said the alleged money laundering was carried out by Febrie as a prosecutor or structural official during his service at the Attorney General’s Office.
