Jamwas Confirms Febrie Adriansyah Will Face Ethics Trial
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Attorney General for Supervision at the Attorney General’s Office, Rudi Margono, has confirmed that former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah will be processed not only criminally but also through an ethics tribunal for the legal violations he committed.
Rudi said the ethics hearing for the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah would be conducted in the same way as for any other prosecutor found to have committed violations, with no special treatment.
“Yes (ethics), we proceed as normal whenever officials commit such acts,” Rudi said in Jakarta on Saturday.
According to Rudi, Febrie’s status has now been resigned from the post of Jampidsus as of Saturday. The position has been entrusted to Rudi Margono as interim officer.
He said Febrie’s official dismissal from the post of Jampidsus and as a civil servant would only take effect following a presidential decree.
“Formally, we are still awaiting the presidential decree on his official resignation. His appointment required a presidential decree, so his resignation must also be approved by the President. If approved, then he has resigned from the civil service,” he said.
Ethics hearings for prosecutors who break the law are conducted by the Prosecutors’ Honour Council or through an examination by the Attorney General’s Office’s Supervision Division.
Rudi Margono is likely to process the ethics case against Febrie if his position as Deputy Attorney General for Supervision has not yet been replaced, given that he has currently been appointed by the Attorney General as interim Jampidsus.
“I have no information on that yet,” he said.
Regarding the schedule for Febrie’s questioning as a suspect, Rudi added that it would only begin after the handover process is completed, with investigators first studying the case.
He also said the substantive examination of the case would be carried out jointly by Jampidsus investigators and the National Police’s Special Crimes Directorate (Kortastipidkor).
“We only received the technical details today. We will study them first, open the evidence, the exhibits. Then, regarding the substantive elements, we will work together with Kortastipidkor,” Rudi said.
Suspect Don Ritto is alleged to have committed money laundering of proceeds derived from corruption. He is charged under Article 4 or Article 5 in conjunction with Article 10 of Law Number 8 of 2010, or Article 607 paragraph 1 letters B and C of the new Criminal Code.
Meanwhile, FA is charged under Article 12 letter i and Article 12 letter B of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption and Article 3 and Article 4 of the Money Laundering Law, or alternatively Article 607 paragraph 1 letters a and b of the new Criminal Code.
Suspect Don Ritto has been detained since 10 July 2026 at the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police Headquarters, while FA has not been detained.
Regarding FA’s role in the three cases, Rudi said this would be disclosed after his office receives the handover of the case files and official reports, followed by a joint exposure with the Kortastipidkor team.
