Former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah Remains a Civil Servant Despite Being Named a Suspect

The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has confirmed that Febrie Adriansyah remains a Civil Servant (ASN) even though he has stepped down from his position as Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus). Consequently, Febrie still receives his entitlements as a civil servant despite being named a suspect in a case of alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU). Febrie’s civil servant status will only be revoked once there is a court ruling that has obtained permanent legal force, or is legally binding, regarding his criminal case. “Yes, he is still [a civil servant]. Usually, it is only revoked when there is an indication of a final and binding verdict, but he has already voluntarily resigned from his position. The important thing is that he has already stepped down from the post,” said the Head of the Attorney General’s Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, at the Attorney General’s Office in Jakarta on Monday (13/7). Anang added that the Attorney General’s Office had received the administrative transfer of the case involving Febrie from the Indonesian National Police, rather than a full transfer of the case file. This will include the handover of witness examination reports, evidence, and the suspects themselves. “As I said, it is the transfer of the case administration, not the case file. A case file transfer would mean it goes from investigators to public prosecutors,” Anang stated. Regarding the internal supervisory examination, Anang explained that this would be conducted in parallel with the investigation process. “It will run concurrently. It so happens that the Acting Jampidsus also serves as the Junior Attorney General for Supervision (Jamwas). That was one of the considerations for the appointment, to make things easier,” he said. Previously, the Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipidkor) officially transferred the handling of three alleged corruption and money laundering cases to the Attorney General’s Office. The transfer was made after investigators named two suspects: private sector individual Don Ritto and former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah.
