Legislator urges authorities to hunt down all assets from FA corruption case
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Rikwanto, a member of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), has called on law enforcement to pursue all assets belonging to the suspect in the money laundering (TPPU) case, who is also the former Attorney General for Special Crimes.
“We suspect there are still many hiding places for assets of unclear origin, allegedly the proceeds of these crimes, that need to be uncovered,” said Rikwanto during a press statement in the Commission III meeting room at the DPR complex in Central Jakarta on Saturday.
According to the Commission III member from the Golkar Party faction, the assets still scattered around must be pursued so that investigators can trace where FA’s funds have flowed. This would allow investigators to identify other parties involved in the corruption practice.
With the formation of a working committee (panja), Rikwanto is confident that Commission III will be more intensive in monitoring and even involved in resolving FA’s corruption case.
“Whoever is involved must be thoroughly investigated, and in this meeting the Golkar faction fully supports the working committee, whose chairman is our leader, Mr Habiburokhman,” said Rikwanto.
The Head of the Corruption Crime Eradication Task Force (Kortastipidkor) of the National Police Criminal Investigation Department, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, stated that FA has been named a suspect in an alleged corruption and money laundering case.
“We have named FA a suspect in an alleged corruption and money laundering case,” said Totok at a press conference at the Attorney General’s Office in Jakarta on Saturday.
The two-star police general explained that FA was named a suspect alongside another suspect with the initials DR from the private sector. DR is reportedly Don Ritto.
In the case, investigators have examined 15 witnesses and two experts, and conducted searches at several locations.
Totok added that suspect DR is alleged to have committed money laundering originating from corruption.
“For suspect DR, we applied Article 4 or Article 5 in conjunction with Article 10 of Law Number 8 of 2010, or Article 607 paragraph 1 letters B and C of the new Criminal Code,” he said.
Meanwhile, suspect FA is charged under Article 12 letter i and Article 12 letter B of the Corruption Eradication Law and Articles 3 and 4 of the Money Laundering Law, or alternatively Article 607 paragraph 1 letters a and b of the new Criminal Code.
“We have named FA a suspect in an alleged corruption and money laundering case in the legal process involving a state official, in the PT Asabri case and other corruption offences,” Totok explained.
“We have agreed with the Attorney General’s Office that the handling of investigations into three cases has been transferred to the Attorney General’s Office in the interest of synergy,” he said.
Previously, on Thursday (9 July), a joint team from the National Police’s Kortastipidkor and the Metropolitan Police searched a house in the Sentul area of Bogor Regency, West Java.
During the search, investigators seized gold bullion weighing 74 kilograms, as well as foreign currency and rupiah worth approximately Rp476 billion.
In addition to the gold and cash, investigators also seized a number of documents, mobile phones, and several family photographs believed to be connected to the homeowner or the owner of the items stored in the safe.
The search was part of a joint investigation into three cases: alleged corruption in coal governance that triggered power blackouts, alleged corruption at PT Asabri and PT Jiwasraya between 2020 and 2025, and alleged money laundering in the settlement of PT CBS’s debts to PT KNI.
