Febrie Challenges Attorney General's Office Detention, Asks Pretrial Judge for Release
Former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, has asked the sole judge at the South Jakarta District Court to annul the detention carried out by the Attorney General’s Office. This was conveyed by Febrie in the petitum of the pretrial motion filed with the South Jakarta District Court. Febrie also asked the judge to declare the detention order invalid and without binding legal force.
In his petitum, Febrie contested Detention Order Number PRIN-43/F/Fd.2/07/2026 dated 24 July 2026 issued against him. His legal counsel asked the judge to declare the order invalid along with all its legal consequences.
“We request that Detention Order Number PRIN-43/F/Fd.2/07/2026, dated 24 July 2026 against the Petitioner be declared invalid and without binding legal force with all its legal consequences,” said Febrie’s legal counsel, Maqdir Ismail.
Maqdir said his side also asked the judge to immediately release Febrie from the detention centre once the detention status is declared invalid.
“Order the Respondent to immediately release and remove the Petitioner from the Class I State Detention Centre of East Jakarta, KPK Detention Centre Branch, Jalan Kuningan Persada Kav. 4, South Jakarta,” he said.
He explained that the request for release is part of the series of pretrial motions filed by Febrie. The legal counsel is not only contesting the detention, but also asking the judge to declare the naming of Febrie as a suspect invalid.
If the request is granted, the legal counsel also asked that the Respondent be ordered to stop the investigation based on the investigation order. The legal team also requested that all follow-up actions against Febrie and his family issued based on the investigation order be declared invalid.
“Restore all legal rights of the petitioner against actions that have been taken by the respondent. Charge the case costs according to law,” he said.
The Attorney General’s Office has named former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, as a suspect in money laundering 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 party Nurman Herin and lawyer Don Ritto as suspects for their involvement in the money laundering case together with Febrie.
Chairman of Team 9 and Junior Attorney General for Supervisory Crimes, 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.
