Febrie Requests Return of Family Photo Evidence, AGO Says Wait for Judge's Ruling
The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has revealed the reason family photographs were taken as evidence in the alleged corruption case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah. The AGO stated that the family photos were seized as an investigative strategy to confirm that the house in Sentul, Bogor, belonged to Febrie.
“Perhaps it was part of the investigative strategy to convince that the item, the place, indeed belongs to Mr FA,” said AGO Head of Legal Information Anang Supriatna at the AGO building in South Jakarta on Wednesday (19/8/2026).
The family photos were seized by investigators from the Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipikor) and Polda Metro Jaya. The seizure was carried out during a search of Febrie’s house in Sentul, Bogor, West Java.
Anang said that if Febrie’s side wants the family photos returned, it must be pursued through a court ruling. The AGO is currently awaiting the pre-trial ruling filed by Febrie’s camp.
“We will just wait for the ruling from, that is the petition. We will just wait for the pre-trial judge’s ruling,” he said.
Previously, investigators from the National Police handed over all evidence to the AGO on Wednesday (15/7). They brought various types of evidence into the Bundar Building.
Among them were one black suitcase, three boxes labelled ‘Evidence’, and two framed photographs covered with cloth. All of the evidence was immediately taken into the Bundar Building.
For information, Febrie has filed a pre-trial motion. He asked the pre-trial judge to annul the letter determining his suspect status. Not only that, he also challenged the legality of the seizure and search conducted by the National Police.
Febrie specifically questioned the search conducted at his residence in the Sentul area on Wednesday (8/7) evening until Thursday (9/7) early morning. He considered that the legal process carried out by the National Police did not comply with applicable procedures.
In one of the points of his lawsuit, Febrie questioned the seizure of a number of pieces of evidence at the Sentul house. One of the items seized by investigators was a family photograph of himself.
Below are the 14 points of the petition in Febrie Adriansyah’s pre-trial motion:
