The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has searched the home of lawyer Don Ritto, who is also a suspect in a money laundering (TPPU) case involving 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash found at Febrie Adriansyah’s house in Sentul.

Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, said the search was carried out by Team 9 investigators on Tuesday (4/8).

“The investigation team conducted a search at one location in the Bandung area belonging to DR’s relative,” he told reporters at the Coordinating Ministry for Political and Security Affairs on Wednesday (5/8).

He explained that as a result of the search, Team 9 investigators also seized a number of documents suspected of being related to Don Ritto’s money laundering case as well as that of the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie.

“From there, several documents were obtained which are suspected to be connected to DR’s own case and FA’s.”

Previously, the Attorney General’s Office also searched Don Ritto’s office in the South Jakarta area on Monday (3/8).

In addition, a search was carried out on the home of suspect Nurman Herin (NH) in Depok, West Java.

Furthermore, Anang said Team 9 investigators had also searched four companies suspected of being venues for Don Ritto’s money laundering in South Jakarta, namely the offices of PT HI, PT PIS, PT KNE and PT SME.

The Attorney General’s Office has named former Deputy 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 his house in Sentul.

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 alongside Febrie.

Head of Team 9 and Deputy Attorney General for Crime Supervision, Rudi Margono, said the alleged money laundering was committed by Febrie while serving as a prosecutor or structural official at the Attorney General’s Office.
