Febrie Adriansyah Named Corruption and Money Laundering Suspect in Three Cases

Police have officially named former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect. Alongside Febrie, police have also named a private sector individual, identified as DR, as a suspect. They were named as suspects in three cases of alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) previously investigated jointly by the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortastipidkor) and the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Regional Police. Febrie was named a suspect in cases involving coal, Asabri, and Krakatau Steel, which were previously investigated by the joint police team.

“We have conducted a case review. Based on the case review, we have named two suspects, Mr DR, who is suspected of committing money laundering, allegedly originating from criminal acts of corruption,” said the Head of the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Task Force, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, during a press conference with the House of Representatives and the Jampidsus at the Attorney General’s Office building in South Jakarta on Saturday afternoon.

“We have also named Mr FA, in the case of alleged corruption and money laundering, in the legal handling process by civil servants or state officials in the PT Asabri case, and or other criminal acts of corruption, as referred to in Article 12d, 12B of the Corruption Eradication Law, and Article 3, 4 of the TPPU Law or the current Criminal Code Article 607 paragraph 1a and b,” Totok continued.

Also present at the press conference was the Junior Attorney General for Supervision (Jamwas), Rudi Margono, who as of today serves as the acting Jampidsus, replacing Febrie who has resigned. On that occasion, Margono stated that his office is synergising with the police regarding the handling of the three corruption cases. Additionally, he explained that the handling of the cases will be transferred to the Attorney General’s Office.

“We will formally accept the transfer of the handling of these three cases today, as a form of commitment to accelerate professionalism and synergy in handling, because the public is waiting for the resolution of these cases,” said Rudi Margono. He confirmed that even though the cases have been transferred to the Jampidsus, his office will continue to coordinate with the police. “Although the cases are handed over to the Jampidsus, we will continue to coordinate with the head of the corruption task force to ensure certainty of resolution,” he added.
