KPK Has Not Taken Over Febrie Adriansyah Case, Assesses AGO Investigation Still Within Legal Corridor

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed it will not yet take over the case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah. The anti-corruption agency assesses that the investigation process being conducted by the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) is still proceeding within the legal corridor. Acting Director of Investigations at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein, stated that his party continues to monitor the progress of the case. However, based on preliminary observations, conditions requiring the KPK to take over the investigation from the AGO have not been found. “We view that the case handled by the Attorney General’s Office and our colleagues at Kortas is still on track; there are still processes being carried out in accordance with procedural law,” Taufik said on Thursday, 23 July 2026. Taufik explained that the KPK has specific mechanisms and provisions before deciding to take over a case being handled by another law enforcement agency. According to him, the requirements for a takeover have not yet been met, so the investigation remains with the Attorney General’s Office. “In our view, the conditions for a takeover have not been fulfilled,” he said. The statement was in response to calls from various parties for the KPK to take over the case involving Febrie Adriansyah. Despite not taking over the case, the KPK continues to monitor the investigation conducted by the AGO. Taufik emphasised that in addition to its enforcement and prevention powers, the KPK also has the authority to coordinate and supervise the handling of corruption cases. Therefore, should coordination or supervision be required during the investigation process, the KPK is ready to provide support to the Attorney General’s Office. Previously, the AGO opened a new chapter in the case against Febrie Adriansyah by issuing a new investigation warrant related to alleged money laundering (TPPU). This new investigation focuses on the alleged flow of assets linked to the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah in foreign currency at Adriansyah’s residence in the Sentul area, Bogor.
