NasDem Faction Backs DPR Commission III Working Committee to Investigate Febrie Adriansyah Case

The NasDem Party faction in Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) has declared its full support for the establishment of a Law Enforcement Oversight Working Committee (Panja) to supervise the handling of the alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) case involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah (FA). This support follows the naming of Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect by the Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipidkor).

Commission III member from the NasDem Party faction, Rudianto Lallo, asserted that the case involving a senior law enforcement official has wounded the public’s sense of justice. He urged that the legal process be conducted transparently and comprehensively. “Of course, we demand that this case be investigated thoroughly to its roots, because it has injured the public’s sense of justice,” Rudianto said in Jakarta on Saturday.

Rudianto assessed that the swift move by Commission III, under the leadership of Habiburokhman, to form the working committee was the right step. The committee is expected to strengthen the parliament’s oversight function to ensure that investigations by the police and the prosecutor’s office proceed objectively and without intervention.

Previously, the Head of Kortas Tipidkor, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, announced the naming of Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect during a press conference at the Attorney General’s Office. Febrie Adriansyah is suspected of involvement in corruption and money laundering related to the handling of the PT ASABRI case and other corruption cases. “Based on the case review, we have named Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect in the alleged corruption and/or money laundering case in the handling process by civil servants or state officials,” Totok explained.

For his actions, Febrie Adriansyah has been charged under multiple articles, including Article 12 letter e and Article 12 letter B of the Corruption Eradication Law, as well as Articles 3 and 4 of the Money Laundering Law. In addition to Febrie Adriansyah, the police have also named another suspect with the initials DR, who is strongly suspected of laundering the proceeds of the corruption.
