AGO Issues 3 New Investigation Warrants in Febrie Case, No Suspects Named Yet

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has issued three new investigation warrants (Sprindik) related to corruption and money laundering cases involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah. The Head of the AGO’s Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, stated that the issuance of the three new warrants was to follow up on the transfer of cases from the National Police. “We have received a number of pieces of evidence related to the suspected corruption and money laundering cases in three cases from National Police investigators to AGO investigators,” he said during a press conference on Wednesday (15/7). The three warrants are related to a case at PT Krakatau, a coal procurement case for PLN that resulted in a blackout, and a corruption and money laundering case at ASABRI. Anang explained that with the issuance of the warrants, the full authority for the investigation now rests with the AGO. However, he noted that no new suspects have been named by the AGO in these three warrants. Febrie Adriansyah and Don Ritto, who were previously named suspects by the National Police, are currently considered witnesses in the AGO’s investigation. “Yes, they are mentioned as individuals in one of the cases,” he said in response to questions about their status. Anang claimed that the suspect status previously assigned by the police has not been voided and will be considered by AGO investigators. “It has not been voided. We have just issued the investigation warrants. We will study it first,” he said.
