KPK Urged to Optimise Supervisory Function in Handling Febrie Adriansyah Case

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has been asked to optimise its supervisory function in handling the alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah. According to the Jaksa Watch Institute, the handling of the case, which has now entered the investigation stage, is considered a crucial moment to maintain independence, objectivity, and public trust in the law enforcement process. National Coordinator of the Jaksa Watch Institute, Khalid Akbar, stated that the KPK has the authority to carry out its supervisory function as stipulated in Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 30 of 2002 concerning the KPK. He said that if during the supervision conditions are found as regulated in the provisions of the legislation, the use of authority to take over the investigation can be considered according to the applicable mechanism. “This case must not stop at just two suspects. The integrity of law enforcement will be measured by the courage to uncover the entire chain of the case based on evidence. There must be no room for impunity, no conflict of interest, and no party immune to the law if the evidence points to their involvement,” he told reporters on Monday, 13 July 2026. He also encouraged investigators to delve into various information circulating in the public sphere, including information published by the Civil Society Coalition Against Corruption. He stated that all such information must be verified through a professional investigation process based on valid evidence. Furthermore, they are of the view that the development of the investigation can be carried out comprehensively, including tracing the flow of funds, asset ownership, transaction relationships, and parties suspected of being linked to the case if supported by sufficient evidence. Nevertheless, they stressed that their statement was not intended to pre-empt the legal process or conclude the involvement of any party. They described the stance as part of public participation in overseeing corruption eradication to ensure it adheres to the principles of equality before the law, due process, independence, transparency, and accountability. “Public trust is not built through narratives, but through the courage to enforce the law consistently. If all facts are fully revealed based on evidence, without discrimination and without conflicts of interest, this case can become an important milestone in strengthening the rule of law and eradicating corruption in Indonesia,” he said.
