Attorney General Temporarily Revokes Prosecutor Status of Febrie Adriansyah

Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin has temporarily revoked the prosecutor status of former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah. Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, stated that the temporary suspension will remain in place until a legally binding decision is reached in the money laundering case against Febrie. “It is true that FA [Febrie] has been temporarily suspended pending a final and binding court ruling, or inkracht,” he told reporters on Tuesday (3/8). Anang explained that the Attorney General has not yet proposed a full dismissal to the President, as the case must first result in a guilty verdict with permanent legal force. He noted that the temporary suspension was proposed following a report from the internal Team 9 regarding Febrie’s suspect status. Anang added that the suspension took effect from 31 July. “The Attorney General made the decision. The mechanism followed a report from Team 9 that the individual concerned is a suspect. The temporary suspension is effective as of 31 July 2026,” he said. The Attorney General’s Office previously named former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah a suspect in a money laundering case linked to the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at a house in Sentul. More recently, the office also named private individual Nurman Herin and lawyer Don Ritto as suspects for their alleged involvement in the money laundering case alongside Febrie. The head of Team 9, who is also the Junior Attorney General for Oversight, Rudi Margono, stated that the alleged money laundering was carried out by Febrie in his capacity as a prosecutor or structural official during his tenure at the Attorney General’s Office.
