AGO Strengthens Evidence in Febrie Adriansyah Money Laundering Case with Search of Don Ritto's Office

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has searched a number of locations, including the private office of Don Ritto in South Jakarta, as part of the investigation into alleged money laundering (TPPU) involving suspect Febrie Adriansyah. “Currently, the investigation team (Team 9) is conducting a search of the office of DR and associates in South Jakarta,” said Head of the AGO Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, in a statement in Jakarta on Monday. In addition to Don Ritto’s office, investigators also searched the home of suspect Nurman Herin in Depok, West Java, and the offices of PT HI, PT PIS, PT KPE, and PT SME in South Jakarta. On the same day, investigators examined four witnesses, identified as T, ER, DH, and HH, who are private sector parties. Anang stated that all these steps were taken to obtain evidence, clarify the case construction, and trace assets suspected to be derived from criminal acts. He affirmed that the investigation would continue to be conducted professionally, independently, and accountably, while upholding the presumption of innocence and the principle of prudence. The case originated from the transfer of case files and evidence from the police, including 74 kilograms of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah in foreign currency. The AGO had previously issued three investigation warrants after receiving the case transfer from the National Police, covering alleged corruption and money laundering at PT KNI, alleged corruption in coal governance at a coal-fired power plant that reportedly caused power outages, and alleged corruption and money laundering in the handling of the PT Asabri case. In the PT Asabri case, police named Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect for corruption and money laundering, while Don Ritto was named a suspect for money laundering.
