The fate of the former Head of the Special Crimes Sub-division (Jampidsus) of the Attorney General’s Office, Febrie Adramatta, in the alleged money laundering (TPPU) case is about to be determined. Febrie has been transferred from the Attorney General’s Office to the South Jakarta District Attorney’s Office (Kejari Jaksel) to stand trial.

The transfer took place on Friday (18/9). The Attorney General’s Office officially handed over the case files, evidence, and the suspect to the South Jakarta District Attorney’s Office.

“Today marks the second stage of the transfer, the handover of the suspect, evidence, and files from the investigators to the public prosecutor regarding the suspect FA and others,” said the Head of the Attorney General’s Office Public Relations Centre, Anang Supriatna, at the South Jakarta District Attorney’s Office on Friday (18/9/2026).

Anang explained that the case files involving Febrie had been declared complete some time ago. He stated that the public prosecutor has 20 days to draft the indictment and bring Febrie to court.

“This is followed by the second stage today, the administrative transfer to the public prosecutor at the South Jakarta District Attorney’s Office. In the next twenty days, after the public prosecutor prepares the indictment and administration, they will submit and transfer it to the Corruption Court,” he explained.

Anang noted that Febrie’s detention is now in the hands of the public prosecutor. He mentioned that Febrie would remain detained at the KPK detention centre.

“It is entirely within the authority of the public prosecutor. Most likely, he will remain there (KPK Detention Centre). However, that is the prosecutor’s prerogative,” said Anang.

Anang stated that the extortion charges would be included in the indictment as the predicate crime for the money laundering. Furthermore, all evidence, including a significant amount of gold seized by investigators, has been administratively handed over.

“The predicate crime (TPA) is automatically included, which also falls under corruption. The specifics will be part of the main case material. Once it has been transferred, the trial date set, and the panel of judges appointed, we will simply follow the process,” said Anagma.

When questioned regarding the allegations of extortion, Febrie Adriansyah did not provide a clear answer.

“I have been asked about the extortion, and I have responded. During my 33 years as a prosecutor, I have never been sanctioned by the Oversight Committee. I have never been investigated, nor have I ever been reported,” replied Febrie when asked about the extortion allegations regarding the handling of the PT Asuransi Jiwasraya and PT ASABRI cases.

Febrie expressed hope that the judges would view the facts of the case clearly. He also referenced the major cases he had handled during his tenure as Head of Jampidsus.

“I want the judges to see clearly in court why this case has emerged,” he added.

Febrie requested that investigators prove the ownership status of the evidence. He claimed he was not involved in any commodity businesses or government projects.

“I do not possess any mining business licences (IUP). I have never requested government projects. I have never held palm oil concessions. I have never requested import quotas. Who is involved in that?” Febrie claimed.

For context, the Attorney General’s Office is charging Febrie Adriansyah with corruption and extortion as the predicate crime, alongside money laundering. The case is linked to the handling of the PT Asuransi Jiwasraya and PT ASABRI cases previously investigated by the Jampidsus of the Attorney General’s Office.

Meanwhile, two other suspects, Don Ritto and Nurman Herin, are accused of violating money laundering laws within the same case. Investigators from the Attorney General’s Office have conducted searches and seizures of evidence in this matter.
