KPK Chair Discusses Febrie Case with Attorney General: We Sat Next to Each Other

KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto said the commission has communicated with the Attorney General’s Office regarding the handling of the case involving former Deputy Attorney General Febrie Adriansyah. He said communication has also taken place at the leadership level of the two institutions.

“Yes, it has started moving, so to speak,” Setyo said after attending the launch of the annotated Criminal Procedure Code book at the DPR building in Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday (14/7/2026).

Setyo said the matter had been discussed with Attorney General ST Burhanuddin. According to him, this demonstrates the Attorney General’s Office’s seriousness in following up on the handling of the case.

“He was sitting right next to me earlier (at the book launch),” he said.

“There has already been some discussion for quite some time. That shows the seriousness of the Attorney General’s Office in following up on the handling of this case,” he continued.

Setyo explained that the KPK’s steps in the case refer to its coordination and supervision authority, as regulated in Article 6 of Law Number 19 of 2019 on the KPK.

“The authority we are exercising is supervisory authority as regulated in Law 19 of 2019. The authority is supervision,” he said.

DPR Commission III to Monitor Handling of Febrie Case

Meanwhile, DPR Commission III has assured it will pay special attention to the legal process related to the coal mining, ASABRI and Krakatau Steel corruption cases. Commission III Chairman Habiburokhman stressed that the case, which is widely reported to involve law enforcement officials, concerns rogue individuals, not institutions.

“There are several things we have announced. First, Commission III is taking the initiative to ensure that the case widely reported recently can proceed within the legal corridor and be thoroughly investigated according to the law,” Habiburokhman said at a press conference at the Indonesian Attorney General’s Office in South Jakarta on Saturday (11/7).

Habiburokhman affirmed that his side would closely supervise the process to prevent actions exceeding legal authority between institutions while the investigation proceeds.

“Second, we also want to make sure there are no adverse effects, friction, or inter-institutional friction regarding the handling of this case. Because in any case, this is a case involving rogue elements — people, individuals — not institutions,” he said.
