Jamwas Confirms Febrie Adriansyah Will Face Ethics Trial
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Junior Attorney General for Supervision at the Attorney General’s Office, Rudi Margono, has confirmed that former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, will not only face criminal proceedings but also an ethics hearing for the legal violations he committed. Rudi said the ethics hearing for the former Jampidsus will be conducted like any other prosecutor who commits a violation, without special treatment. “Yes, ethics. We will carry it out as normal if there are individuals who act like that,” Rudi said in Jakarta on Saturday. According to Rudi, Adriansyah’s status is that he has resigned from the position of Jampidsus as of Saturday. The position has subsequently been entrusted to Rudi Margono as acting officer. He said the official dismissal of Adriansyah from the position of Jampidsus and as a civil servant will follow a presidential decree. “Formally, we are still waiting for the presidential decree on the official resignation from the President. Appointment requires a presidential decree, so the resignation must be approved by the President. If approved, then he resigns from the civil service,” he said. Ethics hearings for prosecutors who violate the law are conducted by the Prosecutors’ Honour Council or through an examination by the Attorney General’s Office’s Supervision Division. Rudi Margono may process the ethics case against Adriansyah if his position as Junior Attorney General for Supervision has not been replaced, given that he has been appointed by the Attorney General as the acting Jampidsus. “I have no information on that yet,” he said. Regarding the schedule for Adriansyah’s examination as a suspect, Rudi added that it will commence after the case handover is complete and investigators have studied the case. He also stated that the substantive examination of the case will be conducted jointly by investigators from Jampidsus and the Corruption Eradication Task Force of the National Police. “Technically, we just received it today. We will study it first, examine the evidence and exhibits. Then, regarding the material elements, it will be done together with the Corruption Eradication Task Force,” Rudi said. Suspect Don Ritto is alleged to have committed money laundering originating 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 Corruption Eradication Law and Article 3, Article 4 of the Money Laundering Law or 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 Metro Jaya Police Headquarters, while FA has not been detained. Regarding FA’s role in the three cases, Rudi said this will be disclosed after his office receives the case files and minutes, followed by a joint exposé with the Corruption Eradication Task Force team.
