LPSK Responds to Protection Request for Ferry Boboho in Former Jampidsus Case

The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has initiated steps to seek protection for Ferry Yanto Hongkiriwang, also known as Ferry Boboho, and the request is now being processed. The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) is currently reviewing the application to determine whether the witness in the alleged money laundering case involving the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah, requires special protection.

The process undertaken by the LPSK is not merely administrative. The agency is examining the significance of Ferry’s testimony, the potential threats he may face, and the specific circumstances that justify the provision of protection. LPSK Chairman Achmadi confirmed that the application from the Attorney General’s Office has been received and is currently in the assessment stage.

“Regarding witness FH, the LPSK has received a request for protection. It is currently undergoing review and assessment, including the importance of the testimony and the potential for threats and/or being in a special situation, to determine the necessary level of protection for the applicant,” he stated on Saturday, 1 August 2026.

According to Achmadi, the LPSK has been coordinating with law enforcement agencies since the alleged money laundering case involving the former Jampidsus was under the jurisdiction of the National Police. This coordination has continued now that the handling of the case has transitioned to the Attorney General’s Office. He emphasised that the protection of witnesses and victims is a mandate provided by law and is a vital component in supporting the law enforcement process.

Achmadi noted that every application undergoes a thorough review to ensure that the form of protection provided is appropriate to the level of threat or the conditions faced by the applicant. “LPSK is ready to provide support to law enforcement agencies in the interest of uncovering the alleged corruption and money laundering case involving the former Jampidsus, in accordance with the duties, functions, and authority mandated by law,” he added.

It was previously reported that the Attorney General’s Office has taken unusual steps in developing the case involving the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah.
