Attorney General's Office examines seven companies using Don Ritto's services

The Attorney General’s Office investigation team (Tim 9) has examined seven companies suspected of using the services of Don Ritto in the handling of cases within the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus).

Rudi Margono, the Coordinator of Tim 9 and Junior Attorney General for Supervision, stated at the Attorney General’s Office in Jakarta on Thursday that the examination pertains to an alleged money laundering case involving the former Jampidsus, Febrie Adriansyah. The companies under scrutiny include PT Waskita Beton Mandiri, PT Argo Jaya, PT Inti Sumber Baja Sakti, PT Perwira Adhitama Sejati, PT Jasa Marga, the Indonesia Export Financing Agency (LPEI), and PT Bandung Indah Gemilang.

“These are companies strongly suspected of using legal services associated with Don Ritto and his associates,” he said. In addition to the companies, Rudi noted that investigators have examined 24 witnesses to date.

Previously, the National Police (Polri) named Don Ritto a suspect in a money laundering case involving state officials during the handling of the PT Asabri case for the 2020–2024 period. Following the transfer of the case to the Attorney General’s Office, Don Ritto was detained at the Attorney General’s Office detention centre. However, in the ongoing money laundering investigation conducted by the Attorney General’s Office, Rudi Margono clarified that Don Ritto currently holds the status of a witness.

In the current money laundering investigation, the investigative team has named two suspects: Febrie Adriansyah, the former Jampidsus, and Nurman Herin, a private individual. The investigation is based on a new investigation order (sprindik) for alleged money laundering, numbered Print-03/F.2/Fd.2/07/2026, issued on 20 July 2026. This new order was issued after the Attorney General’s Office received case files and evidence, including 74 kilograms of gold and hundreds of billions in foreign currency, from the National Police.

The Attorney General’s Office had previously issued three other investigation orders following the transfer of cases from the National Police as part of law enforcement synergy. These include investigation order number 43 regarding alleged corruption and money laundering at PT KNI; number 44 regarding alleged corruption in coal governance at a power plant suspected of causing blackouts; and number 45 regarding alleged corruption and money laundering in the handling of the PT Asabri case.
