Minister Yusril: KPK Does Not Yet Need to Take Over Febrie Adriansyah Case

Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra has stated that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) does not yet need to take over the alleged corruption case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah, which is currently being handled by the Attorney General’s Office.

"I have said that since it has been handed over to the Attorney General’s Office, let us observe it together, and hopefully it proceeds on track. And the KPK also does not need to take over this investigation for now," Yusril said in response to reporters’ questions after a Plenary Cabinet Session at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Monday.

Yusril explained that according to legislation, the KPK can supervise a case even if the investigation is being conducted by the National Police or the Attorney General’s Office. The KPK also has the authority to take over a case under certain conditions, such as when an investigation is protracted, when the case involves law enforcement officials like former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah, or when it concerns matters of significant public interest and involves funds exceeding IDR 1 billion.

"Even though the KPK has that authority, because the case has been handed over to the Attorney General’s Office, let us observe it together and ensure it is handled professionally and transparently. I think the KPK does not need to take over this investigation yet," Yusril said.

When asked about concerns regarding the case, given that Febrie Adriansyah was formerly a high-ranking official within the Attorney General’s Office, Yusril maintained that the investigation would be conducted professionally and transparently. He also urged the public to continue monitoring the progress of the case involving the former Jampidsus.

Febrie Adriansyah became implicated in a case concerning alleged gratuities and money laundering, which was initially investigated by the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps. He announced his resignation on 11 July 2026, the same day the police named him a suspect. The case dossier was subsequently transferred to the Attorney General’s Office.
