Attorney General's Office Vows Professional Handling of Former Jampidsus FA's Corruption Case
Deputy Attorney General for Supervision (Jamwas) at the Attorney General’s Office, Rudi Margono, has reaffirmed his institution’s commitment to handling the alleged corruption case involving former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah professionally and transparently in order to provide legal certainty.
Rudi, who currently also serves as Acting Jampidsus, stated that the case is being handled through close synergy with the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortastipidkor). He emphasised the importance of upholding the presumption of innocence at every stage of the legal process.
“This synergy aims to ensure the case is handled truly professionally and upholds the presumption of innocence, so that there is certainty in its resolution,” Rudi said at a press conference in Jakarta on Saturday (11/7).
Rudi explained that coordination with the National Police’s Kortastipidkor is currently focused on optimising evidence and exhibits. To date, the evidence gathered by Kortastipidkor investigators remains at the Metro Jaya Regional Police and will soon be transferred to the Attorney General’s Office.
“The transfer of exhibits will await further coordination,” he added.
As a form of synergy between law enforcement institutions, Kortastipidkor has handed over three major cases involving FA to the Attorney General’s Office’s Jampidsus.
Rudi stressed that Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin has given special instructions for the case to be resolved professionally. According to him, a professional and humane approach must be applied to all cases, not only those involving internal personnel.
Previously, Kortastipidkor named FA and an individual with the initials DR as suspects. DR is suspected of laundering money derived from corruption and has been detained at the Metro Jaya Regional Police detention facility since 10 July.
Meanwhile, FA is suspected of violating Article 12 letters i and B of the Corruption Eradication Law, as well as Articles 3 and 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering Law. Regarding FA’s detention status, Rudi stated that the suspect has not yet been detained.
“Regarding FA’s specific role in the three cases, we will provide details after receiving the case files and official reports, and once a joint exposure with the Kortastipidkor team has been carried out,” he concluded.
