Former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah Detained After Second Examination
The Attorney General’s Office has finally detained former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah on Friday (24/7/2026). This followed a full day of questioning as a witness in a money laundering (TPPU) case at the Attorney General’s Office. After the examination, which began in the morning, the Special Prosecutors Team decided to detain him as he is already a suspect in a case involving the receipt of bribes and gratuities related to the handling of a corruption case at PT ASABRI. The Attorney General’s Office placed Febrie in a detention cell at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
On Friday, the special team examined Febrie in connection with the corruption and money laundering case in which he has been named a suspect. This was his second examination. Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, stated that Febrie was not examined in the main building but by the team of nine prosecutors in another unit within the Attorney General’s Office complex. He confirmed Febrie had been present for questioning since approximately 10:00 AM. The examination concluded around midnight, after which Febrie was immediately taken to the KPK.
This latest examination focused specifically on money laundering, based on a new investigation order issued by the Attorney General’s Office on Monday, 20 July 2026. This new order supplements four previously issued investigation orders. Coordinator of the Special Prosecutors Team, Rudi Margono, explained that the three initial investigation orders pertained to the handling of a corruption case at a coal-fired power plant, the ASABRI case, and a corruption case at Krakatau Steel. Rudi noted that Febrie was originally scheduled to be examined as a witness on Wednesday, 22 July.
In the money laundering case, the initial investigation team from the Metro Jaya Police and the Criminal Investigation Department’s Corruption Eradication Task Force discovered evidence including hundreds of billions of rupiah in cash and 74 kilograms of gold bars at Febrie’s private residence in Sentul City, Bogor, West Java. Febrie’s status as a suspect in the other case clusters had already been announced, and the team of nine prosecutors had previously examined him on Friday, 17 July 2026. He was officially named a suspect on Saturday, 11 July 2026, on charges of accepting bribes, gratuities, or extortion related to the handling of the ASABRI corruption case. The police subsequently handed over the case management to the Attorney General’s Office, along with the evidence of cash and gold bars seized during a search of Febrie’s residence on Wednesday, 8 July 2026. Despite being named a suspect, Febrie had not been detained until this point, whereas another suspect in the same case, Don Ritto, is already in custody.
