The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has no suspicions regarding the transfer of the corruption case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah from the Indonesian National Police to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO). The case was initially reported to be handled by the Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) before being transferred to the KPK. KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the anti-graft body did not object to the transfer of Febrie’s case to the AGO. He expressed confidence that both the Police and the AGO can handle the case professionally. “KPK believes in the professionalism of case handling by the Police and the AGO,” Budi said in Jakarta on Monday (13/7/2026). Budi emphasised that the Police and the AGO always uphold transparency. He urged the public to continue monitoring the development of Febrie’s case until its completion. “Both the Police and the Attorney General’s Office are always open in handling cases, so the public can continue to follow the developments,” Budi stated. He also encouraged the public to respect the ongoing legal process. “Therefore, let us all respect the ongoing legal process,” he said. The Police have named two suspects in the corruption and money laundering investigation following raids in South Jakarta and Sentul, Bogor Regency, last week. The two suspects are Febrie and businessman Don Ritto. A joint team of investigators from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Metro Jaya Police and the Police’s Kortastipidkor named the two suspects in connection with corruption and money laundering related to coal procurement, Asabri, Jiwasraya, and Krakatau Steel. In the current handling of the case, the joint police team has examined 15 witnesses. It was not mentioned whether FA had been examined. A series of searches were also conducted starting Wednesday night (8/7/2027) at 12 separate locations in Jakarta and Bogor, West Java. From these searches, the police investigation team seized a total of Rp 541 billion in cash and 74 kilograms of gold bullion.
