Febrie Adriansyah Files Two Pretrial Motions This Afternoon

The legal team of former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah submitted a pretrial motion to the South Jakarta District Court on Wednesday afternoon. This legal step was taken to test the validity of the suspect designation in an alleged money laundering case by the Attorney General’s Office and the National Police. Febrie Adriansyah’s legal counsel, Febri Diansyah, confirmed the registration of the lawsuit at the Integrated One-Stop Service of the South Jakarta District Court. “This afternoon, we plan to register the pretrial motion,” said Febri Diansyah in Jakarta on Wednesday. Febri emphasised that filing a pretrial motion is a constitutional mechanism guaranteed by law to test the formal aspects of law enforcement, not a means to avoid the judicial process. “Once again, we must place this pretrial motion as a space to test the legal process, actualise human rights, and an effort to clarify that the legal process does not violate the law and is conducted with great care. So, the pretrial motion is not a step to avoid the law, but an effort to clarify the legal process,” said Febri. Furthermore, Febri revealed that his party filed two separate pretrial motions because they are testing different objects and legal actions from two different law enforcement agencies. The first motion highlights the forced measure of designating a suspect in the alleged money laundering case as well as the detention carried out by the Attorney General’s Office investigation team. The second motion targets the forced measure of designating a suspect in corruption and money laundering cases, as well as the search and seizure actions conducted by the Metro Jaya Regional Police together with the Police Corruption Eradication Corps. As is known, the Attorney General’s Office has named Febrie Adriansyah and a private party named Nurman Herin as suspects in the alleged money laundering case. On the other hand, the National Police have also named Febrie as a suspect in alleged corruption and money laundering related to the handling of the PT Asabri case for the 2020-2024 period. In the case handled by the Police, a private party with the initials Don Ritto was also named a suspect in the alleged money laundering.
