Febrie Asks Judge to Annul Suspect Designation and Sentul Search

Former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, has asked the sole judge at the South Jakarta District Court to annul the designation of his suspect status and the search of his Sentul residence. This was conveyed by Febrie in the petition of the pretrial motion filed with the South Jakarta District Court. Febrie also asked the judge to declare all legal actions invalid, including the issuance of investigation warrants, seizure, and travel bans.

“To accept and grant the Pretrial Motion submitted by the Petitioner in its entirety,” said Febrie Adriansyah’s legal counsel, Farizi, while reading the motion during the hearing at the South Jakarta District Court on Tuesday (18/8).

In the motion, Febrie’s camp asked the sole judge to declare invalid the Investigation Order Number SP.Sidik/2932/VII/RES.3.3/2026/Polda Metro Jaya dated 6 July 2026. They also requested that the Search Order Number SP.Dah/3006/VII/RES.3.3./2026/Polda Metro Jaya and the seizure of goods on 9 July 2026 be declared invalid and without binding legal force.

Furthermore, Febrie also asked the judge to annul the Suspect Designation Letter with number S.Tap/02/VII/RES.3.3/2026/Polda Metro Jaya dated 10 July 2026. The legal team also asked the judge to declare the prevention or travel ban against Febrie from travelling outside Indonesian territory for 20 days invalid.

In the petition, Febrie also questioned the investigation order issued by the Attorney General’s Office on 11 July 2026. They considered these letters to be derivative actions of the investigation process and suspect designation which they deemed invalid. On that basis, the legal counsel asked the judge to declare the summons letter against Febrie issued by the Attorney General’s Office also invalid.

“To declare that all subsequent legal actions that solely rely on the suspect designation and coercive measures by Respondent I which are invalid a quo, whether already carried out or to be carried out by the Co-Respondent, have no binding legal force,” said Farizi.

Lastly, Febrie also requested that all goods, documents, and data obtained from the search and seizure at Febrie’s residence be declared as evidence obtained unlawfully. He considered that the goods and data could not be used as evidence in the ongoing case or in other cases processed later. In addition, they requested that all goods belonging to Febrie and his family that had been taken or seized be returned intact.

“To order Respondent I and the Co-Respondent to restore the Petitioner’s rights in his capability, position, dignity, and honour (rehabilitation) as in his original state,” said Farizi.

The Attorney General’s Office has named former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, as a suspect in a money laundering case related to the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at his Sentul residence. Most recently, the Attorney General’s Office also named private parties, namely Nurman Herin (NH) and lawyer Don Ritto (DR), as suspects for their involvement in the money laundering case together with Febrie. Chairman of Team 9 and Junior Attorney General for Supervision, Rudi Margono, said the alleged money laundering was carried out by Febrie as a prosecutor or structural official during his service at the Attorney General’s Office.
