Court rejects Febrie Adriansyah's pre-trial motion over suspect status

The South Jakarta District Court has rejected a pre-trial motion filed by former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah regarding the legality of coercive measures in naming him a suspect in an alleged money laundering case (TPPU).

“The court rules to reject the petitioner’s pre-trial motion in its entirety,” said sole judge Richard Edwin Basoeki during the ruling at the South Jakarta District Court on Friday.

“The court orders the petitioner to bear the case costs arising from this motion, amounting to nil,” he added.

The South Jakarta District Court delivered its ruling on the pre-trial motion of former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah on Thursday (27/8) and Friday afternoon.

Febrie Adriansyah filed two separate pre-trial motions. The first concerned the coercive measures in naming him a suspect in alleged corruption and money laundering cases, as well as searches and seizures conducted by the Metro Jaya Police and/or the Police Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor).

Febrie’s first pre-trial motion, case number 134/Pid.Pra/2026/PN.JKT.SEL, related to the seizure and search of his residence by the Metro Jaya Police as Respondent I, the Police Corruption Eradication Corps as Respondent II, and the Attorney General’s Office. It was rejected by the South Jakarta District Court judge on Thursday (27/8).

The second motion concerned 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, under case number 135/Pid.Pra/2026/PN.JKT.SEL.

The two motions were filed separately because the objects and actions being challenged were different.

Previously, investigators from the Attorney General’s Office had named Febrie Adriansyah and private party Nurman Herin as suspects in the alleged money laundering case.
