AGO Places Witness in Febrie Adriansyah Money Laundering Case Under LPSK Protection

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has placed Ferry Hongkiriwang under the protection of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK). Ferry is a witness in the alleged money laundering (TPPU) case involving the suspect, former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah (FA).

“It should be noted that for Ferry, for the purposes of the investigation, we plan to place him under the protection of the LPSK,” said the Junior Attorney General for Supervision, Rudi Margono, to reporters on Thursday (30/7/2026).

Rudi explained that investigators are still examining the importance of Ferry’s testimony for the investigation. Therefore, for Ferry’s security, investigators have placed him with the LPSK. “We are still investigating and for the time being, for the purposes of the investigation as a witness and for the security of the person concerned, we are placing him under the protection of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency,” he stated.

When asked whether Ferry has the opportunity to become a justice collaborator, Rudi said they are still gathering information. He explained that another reason for placing Ferry with the LPSK is to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation. “We will wait for developments. What is clear is that we still need his testimony as a witness for the smooth progress of the investigation and for the security protection of the person concerned,” he elaborated.

Previously, the AGO conducted further examinations into the alleged money laundering case involving the suspect, former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah. Several individuals were examined, including businessman Tan Kian. “Yes (Tan Kian was examined),” said Rudi Margono to reporters. The Team 9 coordinator stated that around 10 people were examined in the case, including Ferry Hongkiriwang, also known as Ferry ‘Boboho’.

The AGO has named Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect in the alleged money laundering case. This determination was made after investigators found evidence in the form of 74 kilograms of gold bars and hundreds of billions of rupiah in cash at Febrie’s residence. After being named a suspect on Friday (24/7), Febrie was immediately detained. Rudi stated that Febrie is being held at the KPK detention centre.
