Coordinating Minister Yusril: KPK Can Intervene in Ex-Jampidsus Case

Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, is monitoring the transfer of three alleged corruption cases involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah, from the Indonesian National Police to the Attorney General’s Office. Yusril reminded that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) can intervene in the case. Yusril noted that a supervisory mechanism already exists within the Indonesian legal system, highlighting that the KPK can conduct supervision in this matter. “The KPK has the authority to carry out supervision in accordance with the law. In addition, public oversight is also very important so that the entire process proceeds according to the principles of the rule of law,” Yusril said in a statement on Tuesday (14/7/2026). Yusril acknowledged public doubt regarding the case’s transfer to the Attorney General’s Office, where Febrie’s former subordinates will conduct the investigation. He stated that such doubts must be answered through a legal process that is firm, professional, and transparent. “I believe the investigators and public prosecutors will work with extra caution, yet remain firm and objective. The handling of this case is precisely an important test to maintain the dignity, honour, and authority of the Attorney General’s Office as a law enforcement institution,” Yusril said. Furthermore, Yusril affirmed that the government supports public scrutiny of the case handling process as part of efforts to realise clean and just law enforcement. “The government opens the widest possible space for the media, the House of Representatives, the public, anti-corruption activists, and legal experts to observe and criticise the investigation and prosecution process,” Yusril stated. Yusril urged that the case be resolved according to the applicable legal rules, insisting there should be no dark spaces throughout its handling. “So that the law is truly enforced objectively, without being influenced by extra-legal considerations,” he said. The police have named two individuals as suspects in a corruption and money laundering investigation following searches conducted this week. The two suspects have the initials BR and FA, with FA referring to Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes who resigned on Saturday (11/7/2026). The joint police investigative team named the two suspects in connection with corruption and money laundering related to coal procurement, Asabri, Jiwasraya, and Krakatau Steel. In the current police handling of the case, a joint team from the Polda Metro Jaya Special Criminal Investigation Directorate and the Corruption Crime Task Force has examined 15 witnesses. It was not mentioned whether FA has been examined. A series of searches were conducted from Wednesday (8/7/2027) at 12 separate locations in Jakarta and Bogor, West Java. From these searches, the police investigative team seized cash totalling IDR 541 billion and 74 kilograms of gold bars.
