Febrie Named Suspect in 3 Corruption Cases, PDIP Legislator: Execute Them If Possible
Nasyirul Falah Amru, also known as Gus Falah, a member of Commission III of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) from the PDIP faction, has strongly condemned the three corruption cases implicating Febrie Adriansyah, the former Head of the Special Crimes Section at the Attorney General’s Office. According to him, the cases constitute a shameful scandal.
“This scandal in the process that has occurred, with someone having been named a suspect, is truly very embarrassing and deeply disappointing to the conscience of all the Indonesian people,” Gus Falah said during a special Commission III DPR RI hearing at the parliament building in Jakarta on Saturday (11/7/2026).
Gus Falah demanded that the suspects in the three corruption cases be tried with the maximum punishment. He even said the death penalty would be appropriate if they are proven to have committed corruption that harms the public.
“Therefore, I ask that the perpetrators, the suspects, be tried as severely as possible. If possible, they should be sentenced to death. Why? Because this concerns the livelihoods of many people. Imagine the PLN blackout because of the coal case, imagine Krakatau Steel, ASABRI — this is truly disgusting. Especially when it was committed by law enforcement officials we hold dear,” he said.
Febrie Named Suspect in Three Corruption Cases
Acting Head of the Special Crimes Section Rudi Margono received the handover of three corruption cases from the Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortas Tipikor). The cases were transferred to the Attorney General’s Office.
Margono said one suspect from the private sector and another with the initial F had already been named.
“The information is that two suspects have been named, one from the private sector. The second has the initial F,” Margono said at the Attorney General’s Office building in South Jakarta on Saturday (11/7).
The three cases concern alleged corruption in coal, ASABRI and Krakatau Steel. Police have searched a money changer and the Cafe de’Clan Signature in the Cipete area of South Jakarta, as well as a house in Bogor, West Java.
Police seized a number of items of evidence during the searches, ranging from gold bars to foreign currency worth billions of rupiah.
The President’s Attention
Head of Public Relations for Metro Jaya Regional Police, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, reiterated that the handling of the three corruption cases follows up on directives from President Prabowo Subianto. The National Police are committed to supporting the President’s national priority of strengthening corruption eradication.
“We are here to convey the investigation process into alleged corruption, bribery, gratification and/or money laundering offences,” Budi said.
He said the handling of the cases is in line with the seventh Asta Cita on the government’s agenda, namely strengthening political, legal and bureaucratic reform, as well as strengthening the prevention and eradication of corruption.
“The eradication of corruption is an initiative of the President of the Republic of Indonesia under the seventh Asta Cita priority programme, namely strengthening political, legal and bureaucratic reform, as well as strengthening the prevention and eradication of corruption,” he said.
He said the National Police are also part of the state apparatus carrying out national priorities. He said the cases are being handled through a joint investigation between the Corruption Crimes Directorate of the National Police Criminal Investigation Division and a combined team from Metro Jaya Regional Police.
