AGO Exercises Caution in Febrie Probe: 'We Are Dealing with a Former Legal Warrior'
The corruption case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah is still under investigation. The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) says the investigation is being carried out in detail and with great caution.
“We are dealing with a former legal warrior, right? We have to be careful and prepared,” said AGO Head of Legal Information Anang Supriatna to reporters at the AGO building on Tuesday (11/8/2026).
The investigation into Febrie’s case is being handled by Team 9, which consists of nine prosecutors who have long been involved in handling corruption cases. Anang said his office is ready to be transparent in court in revealing Febrie’s role.
“Not everything related to the main material of the case will we reveal. Because that will be revealed later in court,” said Anang.
“What is clear is that we are open in that regard, but regarding the case material, I apologise and emphasise that it is not that we are not open. There are rumours circulating on social media as if we are not being open. The main material will be revealed later in court. If everything is opened now, the suspects will anticipate steps to secure themselves,” he continued.
In investigating this case, the AGO continues to examine witnesses. Today the investigation team again examined three witnesses from the banking and private sectors.
The AGO also examined seven witnesses on Monday (10/8). The witness examinations are part of investigators’ efforts to obtain evidence, clarify the case construction, and trace assets suspected of originating from criminal proceeds.
“The investigation process will continue to be carried out professionally, independently, and accountably while upholding the presumption of innocence and the principle of caution,” said Anang.
For information, Febrie Adriansyah has been named a suspect in a number of cases. The case involving Febrie was initially handled by the National Police. In its development, the Police handed over the handling of Febrie’s case to the AGO.
Initially, Febrie was named a suspect for alleged corruption and money laundering related to the ASABRI case. He was named a suspect together with a businessman named Don Ritto.
In addition, Febrie is a suspect in an alleged money laundering case related to the discovery of evidence in the form of 74 kg of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah in cash. The AGO also named another suspect, Nurman Herin, in this case.
Furthermore, there is another investigation still being processed related to Febrie. The investigation concerns alleged corruption at PT Krakatau Steel and coal procurement for a coal-fired power plant that resulted in a blackout.
