Former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah was officially detained by investigators of the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) on Friday evening (24/7).

According to CNNIndonesia.com observations at the Kejagung’s Round Building, Febrie emerged at around 23.05 WIB. He was escorted by investigators of the Adhyaksa Corps and accompanied by his legal team.

There was something different about Febrie’s appearance once detention was carried out. Usually, a suspect detained by Kejagung wears a pink prisoner vest and has their hands cuffed.

However, Febrie did not wear the pink prisoner vest and his hands were not cuffed. He wore a long-sleeved batik shirt.

“Today I was examined as a suspect and detention was carried out,” Febrie told reporters.

Febrie said he had discussed his detention with prosecutors. According to him, the evidence submitted by the prosecutors’ investigation team still needed to be examined in greater depth, so he could not be detained immediately.

“It has never been like this at the Round Building. All evidence must be confirmed and examined in depth first, with repeated expositions, before we can be certain that this is not unjust,” he said.

Febrie had just completed questioning by Kejagung’s Team 9 over alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU). He had been questioned since the afternoon, from around 13.00 WIB.

“This has become the leadership’s decision, and I am ready to face it,” he said.

Kejagung is known to have issued a new Investigation Warrant (Sprindik) specifically relating to the alleged money laundering suspected to have been committed by Febrie.

The issuance of the Sprindik came after Team 9 received evidence in the form of 74 kg of gold and foreign currency worth hundreds of billions of rupiah from the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortas Tipidkor).

“The Attorney General’s Office has studied the case, resulting in a new Investigation Warrant specifically for money laundering with Number Print-03/F.2/Fd.2/07/2026 dated 20 July 2026,” said Anang in a written statement on Thursday (23/7).

In addition to Febrie, Anang said Team 9 had summoned three other individuals related to this case on Wednesday (22/7) to be questioned as witnesses, namely Don Ritto, NH, and TS.

During the questioning, his office also invited the Coordination and Supervision Team from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Prosecution Commission, the National Police’s Kortas Tipikor, and the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), as a demonstration of transparency and synergy in handling the case in question.
