Jampidsus Declines to Answer Resignation Rumours, Vows to Continue MBG Corruption Probe
JAKARTA — Febrie Adriansyah, the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), refused to answer questions about circulating reports of his resignation from the Attorney General’s Office. Instead, Febrie affirmed that he would continue to lead the investigation team at the Round Building in pursuing a number of major corruption cases currently under investigation.
Febrie is currently the subject of an investigation by a joint National Police team over his alleged involvement in several corruption and money laundering (TPPU) cases. Febrie said he respects every legal step taken by the National Police against him.
“The Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Indonesia, in particular the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, will continue to respect every law enforcement process carried out by other law enforcement agencies in accordance with the applicable criminal procedure provisions,” Febrie said at a press conference at the Round Building of the Attorney General’s Office in Jakarta on Friday (10/7/2026).
Nevertheless, Febrie said, his investigation team at Jampidsus remains committed to thoroughly pursuing the many corruption cases currently ongoing at the Round Building. This includes, he said, a thorough investigation into corruption at the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) related to the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme, as well as several other corruption cases in the mining sector. There is also a plan to handle new corruption cases to be uncovered relating to transfer pricing.
“The Round Building is currently focused on resolving cases that concern the nation’s interests and the livelihoods of our people, as well as supporting, of course, national priority programmes as directed and instructed by the President,” Febrie said.
“We are currently handling several cases, both public and non-public, namely mining governance. The transfer pricing case, which requires tremendous energy from our investigators to resolve. And other cases that certainly attract great public attention, namely the governance of the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme,” Febrie continued.
Febrie stressed that he would continue to lead and bring his investigation team to consistently pursue major corruption cases. “These efforts are part of the institution’s commitment to realising a clean and integrous government, as well as providing a deterrent effect against perpetrators of corruption,” he said. He also said he understood the recent ‘heat’ that has made him one of the targets of the National Police’s corruption investigation. Febrie regards the situation as socio-political dynamics within the law enforcement process.
“We understand that every dynamic in the law enforcement process can draw public attention. Therefore, we invite the public to respond wisely to every piece of information based on complete facts in order to gain a proper understanding,” Febrie said.
During the question-and-answer session, a number of journalists asked about reports that Febrie would resign from his position as Jampidsus following the handling of a corruption case that implicated him as one of the alleged participants.
However, despite more than three questions from reporters about the resignation rumours, Febrie did not answer. He chose to respond to other questions instead, particularly those concerning the ownership of houses and business units in several locations in Jakarta and Bogor, West Java, which were searched by a joint investigation team from the Special Crimes Directorate of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police and the Anti-Money Laundering Task Force at National Police Headquarters.
