Attorney General Suspends Febrie Adriansyah from Prosecutor Status
Attorney General ST Burhanuddin has taken administrative action against former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah, who is now a suspect in several cases handled by the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung). Febrie has been temporarily dismissed from his status as a prosecutor until the legal proceedings against him result in a final and binding verdict.
The Head of the Legal Information Centre (Kapuspenkum) at the Attorney General’s Office, Anang Supriatna, confirmed the decision. He stated that the temporary suspension was carried out in accordance with applicable regulations because Febrie has been named a suspect. “It is true that FA (Febrie) has been temporarily suspended pending a final and binding verdict,” Anang said when confirmed on Tuesday, 4 August 2026. Anang explained that the basis for the temporary suspension is directly related to Febrie’s legal status in the case being investigated by the Attorney General’s Office. “Because of his suspect status,” he said.
It was previously reported that the legal team of former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah is preparing new legal steps to challenge the investigation process conducted by law enforcement. They plan to file two separate pre-trial motions against the Attorney General’s Office and the National Police. The move aims to test the validity of several legal actions in the alleged money laundering and corruption cases that have ensnared Febrie.
Febrie’s lawyer, Firman Wijaya, stated that the first pre-trial motion will be directed against the Attorney General’s Office regarding the naming of his client as a suspect and his detention in the alleged money laundering case. “The first motion relates to the coercive measures taken by the Attorney General’s Office in naming him a suspect in the alleged money laundering case and the coercive measure of detention,” Firman said on Tuesday, 4 August 2026. Meanwhile, the second motion will aim to test the actions of National Police investigators, including the naming of a suspect in the alleged corruption and money laundering cases, searches, seizures, travel bans, and the supervision process carried out by investigators from the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Regional Police and the Corruption Eradication Corps of the National Police.
