KPK Chair Claims Coordination with Attorney General on Febrie Case

Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Chair Setyo Budiyanto has claimed to have coordinated with Attorney General ST Burhanuddin regarding the supervision of an alleged bribery and money laundering case implicating former junior attorney general for special crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah. “There has been some discussion to a certain extent from some time ago,” Setyo said after attending a book launch at the parliamentary complex on Tuesday (14/7). According to Setyo, the coordination with the Attorney General is a form of seriousness from both institutions in handling the case. Setyo did not elaborate further on the form of the supervision. According to him, the provision is regulated in Article 6 of Law Number 9 of 2019 concerning the KPK. “That is why later the authority we exercise is supervisory authority. Yes, conducting coordination and supervision,” he said. The KPK previously claimed that the entire process of handling the case involving former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah would be carried out transparently and professionally. Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, said his party would also involve the KPK to provide supervision in the case. “To guarantee independence and professionalism, we ensure we will be professional, we will also involve supervision from the KPK later,” he told reporters on Monday (17/7).
