Former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah Allegedly Involved in Money Laundering While Serving as Prosecutor

The investigation team at the Attorney General’s Office, known as Team 9, has stated that former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah is suspected of involvement in money laundering (TPPU) while serving as a prosecutor. “The general modus operandi of the alleged money laundering was carried out by the state official in his capacity as a prosecutor or structural official during his tenure serving at the Prosecutor’s Office,” said Team 9 Coordinator and Junior Attorney General for Supervision (Jamwas) Rudi Margono at the Attorney General’s Office main building in Jakarta on Friday, 24 July 2026. However, he did not disclose the detailed method of money laundering allegedly employed by Febrie. “I will not convey the details because it relates to our evidentiary strategy, and if we disclose it, it will greatly complicate matters for us going forward,” Rudi Margono stated. He assured that Team 9 would provide updates on the subsequent investigation developments. He further emphasised that investigators continue to uphold the principle of presumption of innocence in handling the money laundering case. “More importantly, we must build a legal civilisation that respects one another, especially since the investigation process still adheres to the presumption of innocence. Therefore, let us respect this process,” Rudi said. On Friday, Febrie Adriansyah was formally named a suspect in the alleged money laundering case by the Attorney General’s Office investigation team. The suspect designation came after Febrie underwent approximately 10 hours of questioning. The Attorney General’s Office issued a new investigation order (sprindik) for the alleged money laundering case. The new sprindik, numbered Print-03/F.2/Fd.2/07/2026, was issued on 20 July 2026. Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, said the new sprindik was issued after the office received case files and evidence, including 74 kilograms of gold and foreign currency worth hundreds of billions of rupiah, from the National Police. The Attorney General’s Office has also issued three sprindiks following the transfer of cases from the National Police as a form of law enforcement synergy. The first, sprindik number 43, concerns an alleged corruption and money laundering case at PT KNI. The second, sprindik number 44, concerns an alleged corruption case in coal governance at a coal-fired power plant (PLTU), which is suspected to have triggered a blackout.
