Febrie's Legal Team Expresses Confusion Over Suspect Summons Based on Other Agencies' Determinations
The legal team for the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, expressed surprise regarding the basis of the examination summons issued by Team 9 of the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) on Tuesday (8/9).
Febri Diansyah, counsel for Febrie, stated that his client has been summoned for the first time as a suspect in a corruption and money laundering case related to the handling of the PT Asabri and PT Jiwasraya cases.
He noted that in the summons received, Team 9 referenced the suspect designation from the National Police’s Special Crimes Unit (Kortas Tipidkor Polri) as well as the pretrial decisions of the South Jakarta District Court, Numbers 134/Pid.Pra/2026 and 135/Pid.Pra/2026.
Consequently, Febrie stated that this is the first time he has encountered an examination summons based on a suspect designation from another agency.
“This is the first time we have seen a suspect summons based on a suspect designation from another agency and a pretrial ruling,” he told reporters at the Attorney General’s Office.
Despite questioning the nature of the summons, Febri ensured that his client would remain cooperative and undergo the examination. He added that Febrie respects all ongoing legal processes.
“Although this is the first time we have seen a suspect summons based on another agency’s suspect designation and a pretrial ruling, Mr FA will be cooperative and respect law enforcement by attending this examination,” he explained.
The Attorney General’s Office has named the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansary, as a suspect in a money laundering case related to the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at a residence in Sentul.
Recently, the Attorney General’s Office also named private individuals Nurman Herin (NH) and lawyer Don Ritto (DR) as suspects for their alleged involvement in the money laundering case alongside Febrie.
The Chairman of Team 9, who also serves as the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Supervision, Rudi Margono, stated that the alleged money laundering was carried out by Febrie in his capacity as a prosecutor or structural official during his tenure at the Attorney General’s Office.
Meanwhile, Febrie has filed two pretrial lawsuits at the South Jakarta District Court regarding this case. However, both were rejected by the Single Judge of the South Jakarta District Court’s pretrial proceedings.
