Gold and Dollar Evidence in Febrie Adriansyah Case Confirmed Genuine

Evidence in the form of gold and foreign currency in the alleged bribery case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah has been confirmed as genuine. The evidence was obtained from searches at several locations and has now been transferred to the Attorney General’s Office. The authenticity of the gold and US dollars was established after Polda Metro Jaya conducted laboratory tests involving official financial authorities. Polda Metro Jaya Public Relations Head, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, stated that the verification of the evidence’s authenticity was carried out to ensure its validity before the case was handed over to the Attorney General’s Office. The cash evidence obtained from the searches consisted of several foreign currencies, including US dollars and Singapore dollars. “The gold is genuine, based on tests by Pegadaian. Then, the US dollars were also confirmed as genuine by the United States Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), who provided a letter stating so. The rupiah currency was also confirmed as genuine by Bank Indonesia,” said Budi in Jakarta on Friday (17/7). Budi further conveyed that for the verification of the Singapore dollars, they are still waiting for an official confirmation letter from the relevant financial authority. The process of handing over the evidence and Febrie Adriansyah, who has now been named a suspect in the bribery and money laundering (TPPU) case, is scheduled to take place at the Attorney General’s Office building in Jakarta. “An official release regarding the details of the case and the handover of evidence will be conducted jointly by the police with the Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre (Kapuspenkum) and the Acting Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Plt. Jampidsus),” explained Budi. Regarding the suspect’s alleged assets stored abroad, Budi stated that this matter is part of the investigation material that has been handed over to the Attorney General’s Office. Nevertheless, asset tracing is still ongoing. “Since this case has been handed over, that question should be directed to the Attorney General’s Office,” said Budi. Investigators from Polda Metro Jaya and the Attorney General’s Office verified the authenticity of 74 gold bars during searches related to the investigation into the alleged corruption, bribery, gratuity, and money laundering case involving Febrie Adriansyah.
