Febrie Adriansyah Questioned Again as Suspect, Lawyer Flags Irregularities
Jakarta, VIVA – Former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah underwent another examination by the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) on Tuesday, 8 September 2026.
The examination was conducted by Team 9 of the Attorney General’s Office in relation to an alleged money laundering (TPPU) case connected to the handling of the Asabri and Jiwasraya cases.
Febrie’s counsel, Febri Diansyah, said his client was summoned to be questioned in the capacity of a suspect.
“From the summons letter we received, today Mr FA was scheduled to be examined as a suspect,” Febri said.
He confirmed that his side would remain cooperative and respect the ongoing legal process. However, he admitted to being puzzled by the basis used for the summons.
According to him, the summons letter relates to a suspect designation issued by the Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) as well as two pre-trial rulings by the South Jakarta District Court.
The designation in question is Letter Number: S.Tap/02/VII/RES.3.3/2026 issued by Polda Metro Jaya on 10 July 2026 concerning the Designation of Febrie Adriansyah as a Suspect.
In addition, there are Pre-Trial Ruling Number: 134/Pid.Pra/2026/PN.JKT.SEL dated 27 August 2026 and Number: 135/Pid.Pra/2026/PN.JKT.SEL dated 28 August 2026.
“Even so, this is the first time we have seen a summons for a suspect based on a suspect designation issued by another agency and on pre-trial rulings,” he said.
Despite questioning the basis of the summons, Febri confirmed that he and his legal team would continue to accompany Febrie during the examination.
“Nevertheless, Mr FA will be cooperative and respect law enforcement by attending this examination. We, as advocates, will accompany him during the questioning,” he said.
The Attorney General’s Office is currently investigating four follow-up investigation warrants (sprindik) stemming from the transfer of cases previously handled by a joint team of National Police investigators.
The four cases comprise alleged coal corruption that triggered a blackout, alleged corruption at a subsidiary of PT Krakatau Steel, and alleged money laundering (TPPU) by PT Asabri.
The Attorney General’s Office has also issued a new sprindik related to alleged money laundering to uncover the origins of 74 kilogrammes of gold and foreign currency worth Rp476 billion found at Cafe de’Clan, Koin Money Changer, and a house in Sentul.
Under the four sprindik, Febrie has been named a suspect in the alleged money laundering case involving the 74 kilogrammes of gold and foreign currency worth Rp476 billion, as well as the PT Asabri corruption case.
