The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has guaranteed that the investigation into former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah is being conducted professionally by the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung). Febrie has been implicated in alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU).

This statement was made in response to Febrie’s perception that he is being criminalised through the legal case he is facing. The KPK claims the Attorney General’s Office is not engaging in such actions.

“I don’t think so, our fellow investigators are certainly professional in carrying out their duties,” said KPK Deputy for Coordination and Supervision, Ely Kusumastuti, to reporters on Saturday (25/7/2026) early in the morning.

Ely confirmed that the KPK has been conducting intensive coordination since the case was handled by the Polda Metro Jaya until it was transferred to the Attorney General’s Office. Therefore, Ely believes the case handling process is being conducted professionally because it is also being closely watched by the KPK.

“The supervision is not only carried out by the KPK’s Deputy for Coordination and Supervision, but also by colleagues from Kortas, and the Prosecutorial Commission is also monitoring,” said Ely.

Ely disagreed with any accusations that the handling of Febrie’s case is unreasonable. Ely stated that the KPK has been continuously monitoring the development of this case since it was initially with the Indonesian National Police (Polri).

“We do not see any irregularities because we are also present there to coordinate,” said Ely.
