Attorney General Apologises to Public Over Febrie Adriansyah Case

Attorney General ST Burhanuddin has conveyed an apology to the entire community over the case that has ensnared former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah. He stated that the incident serves as a momentum for the institution to reform, particularly by strengthening internal control and supervision systems. “As the leader, I apologise for this incident. Let the legal facts prove it later. But for us, this is a lesson as well as a moment to improve ourselves,” Burhanuddin said on Saturday (25/7/2026). The Attorney General acknowledged that the event is a tough test for the Attorney General’s Office and all prosecutorial agencies. He urged all ranks of the Adhyaksa corps to remain focused on carrying out their duties and responsibilities in law enforcement. He asked his staff to use the incident as a spur to enhance performance and meet public expectations. “We will go through this trial and tribulation. Make this moment one to fulfil the people’s hopes, deliver justice, investigate and resolve corruption cases,” he asserted. ST Burhanuddin did not deny that some public opinion doubts the AGO’s handling of Febrie’s case. However, he committed to and ensured that the case handling would be conducted transparently, professionally, and fairly. “Give us time to resolve this matter thoroughly,” Burhanuddin stressed. Former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah was named a suspect for alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) and was detained at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) detention centre on Friday (24/7). Febrie Adriansyah is implicated in three alleged corruption cases: the Asabri case, the debt settlement case of a subsidiary of PT Krakatau Steel, and a case of alleged corruption in coal supply to a steam power plant (PLTU). Additionally, the AGO has issued a new Investigation Order (Sprindik) for Febrie’s case specifically related to alleged money laundering. This was carried out after Team 9 received evidence in the form of gold and foreign currency from the Police’s Corruption Crime Corps (Kortas Tipidkor).
