AGO Searches Private Office in South Jakarta in Money Laundering Case Involving Former Prosecutor
The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has searched a number of locations, including the office of private party Don Ritto in South Jakarta, as part of an investigation into an alleged money laundering case (TPPU) involving suspect Febrie Adriansyah. “Currently, the investigative team (Tim 9) is conducting a search of the office of DR and his associates in South Jakarta,” said the Head of the AGO’s Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, in a statement in Jakarta on Monday.
In addition to Don Ritto’s office, investigators also searched the residence of suspect Nurman Herin in Depok, West Java, as well as the offices of PT HI, PT PIS, PT KPE, and PT SME in South Jakarta. On the same day, investigators also examined four witnesses, identified as T, ER, DH, and HH, who are private parties.
He stressed that the investigation will continue to be carried out professionally, independently, and accountably, while upholding the presumption of innocence and the principle of prudence. “The investigative team will continue to convey updates on the handling of the case to the public as needed and in accordance with statutory regulations,” he said.
In this suspected money laundering case, investigators have named two suspects: former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah and private party Nurman Herin. The investigation warrant was issued after the AGO received the transfer of case files and evidence from the Indonesian National Police, including 74 kilograms of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah in foreign currency.
Previously, the AGO also issued three investigation warrants after receiving the transfer of cases from the National Police. These three warrants cover an alleged corruption and money laundering case at PT KNI, an alleged corruption case in coal governance at a coal-fired power plant that allegedly caused power outages, and an alleged corruption and money laundering case in the handling of the PT Asabri case. In the PT Asabri case, the National Police named Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect for alleged corruption and money laundering, while Don Ritto was named a suspect for money laundering.
